Tips for Vata, Pitta and Kapha

Pitta can omit the chilli pepper and sprinkle the finished dish with some grated coconut instead.

Kapha can add more chilli to taste, and less coconut milk but more vegetable stock instead.

In addition, our Vata, Pitta or Kapha Churnas can be used as a topping to make dishes more digestible. These are available in our online shop. >>
