You might pose the question: ‘The Complete Ayurvedic Cookbook’, so small how can it be complete? Complete in the sense of being essential and dealing with the heart of Ayurvedic cooking such as the philosophical concept of tridosha or harmony, the cooking technic of chauncing and the unique concept of wholesomeness according to Caraka 600 BC. EIGHT AYURVEDIC COOKING CONCEPTS by Jay D Mulder 1. Tridosa – The Ayurvedic concept of harmony 2. The ‘Chaunce’ – The original concept of a curry (not necessarily chilli) 3. Wholesomeness – Ayurvedic concept of Agni (digestion) 4. Drinking with meals – ‘The art of health’ 5. The prudent use of yoghurt for health – Yoghurt as a channel blocker 6. Salt and Ayurveda - Understanding Ayurvedic mineral salt 7. Pippali – Long pepper a tridoshic warming digestive 8. Safe Carbohydrates – Realising nature’s balanced package, wholegrains! 1. TRIDOSHA The world is constructed of five elements, namely earth, water, fire, air and space which act as the three dosha, vata, pitta and kapha, in the human body. All foods, spices and habits affect the doshas either pushing them into or out of balance. A good example is chilli which is very hot and drying; this can be disturbing to many and cause disease with overuse in chilli lovers. By using a small about of chilli fried in ghee then discarding the chilli the energies have been made TRIDOSHIC or balanced. Ghee is cool and wet, chilli is very hot and drying, and when these energies are combined they balance each other to a large extent. Ghee aids digestion although it has a cooling energy. Some people find it difficult to eat bananas because they are cold wet and heavy, Ayurveda offers the idea of adding honey and pippali (pepper) to bananas. This summer please try cold watermelon from the fridge dusted with fresh pippali or black pepper. Any meal requires balancing too little or too much of any one item causes imbalances to form over time, therefore meals should have good variety, an entire meal of potato chips for example will throw the body into chaos if repeatedly indulged in. The chips need to be accompanied by a well-dressed salad, a digestive drink and some other vegetables and digestive chutney or sauce. 3
