ROASTED SWEET POTATO AND CAULIFLOWER
SERVES 2
This recipe makes for a wonderful side dish! You can easily add quinoa or a simple dal and make a complete meal.
It is a nice meal for in-between seasons where winter is wrapping and spring has not officially begun. Of course, please modify for your constitution/the season.
Sweet potato is the perfect antidote for vata. If you are more kapha, you may consider subbing for something like broccoli or cabbage - especially in the spring months.
DOSHAS
Vata - Good for vata. If you have difficulty digesting cauliflower, consider subbing for greens beans.
Pitta - Good for pitta.
Kapha - Consider subbing sweet potato for broccoli or cabbage. Can add some ginger or chili for more pungency.
