Vata is the “air-dominant” constitution, while Pitta is the “fire-dominant” constitution. Sometimes, it helps to have a recipe that will pacify both our Air and Fire. This Tamarind Sweet Potato Curry is perfect for you if:

– You have a Vata Pitta constitution, which means you have BOTH air and fire dominant qualities. Most people in the world are actually dual-doshic, which means they are Vata-Pitta or Pitta-Kapha.

– It is between end of July and early October. This is the transition between the summer (Fire) and autumn (Air) seasons. Our bodies can easily get thrown into imbalance in the seasonal transitions. It helps to consume easy to digest foods that pacify both seasonal elements!

Ayurvedic Healing Ingredients

Some of the Ayurvedic energetics of the ingredients in this Tamarind Sweet Potato Curry include:

Sweet Potato

Sweet potato has a “Earth” energy with its natural sweetness. It provides grounding and stabilizes the nervous system, reproductive system, and lymphatic fluid. It nourishes the brain and helps to heal anxiety and anger/frustration.

Tamarind

A sour pulp extracted from a tropical tree pod. It promotes digestion and also provides grounding and helps increase body fluid production (digestive enzymes, reproductive fluid, and healthy skin secretions).

Coriander

A slightly sweet/bitter spice, it is the seed of the famous cilantro herb. The seed is fragrant and provides a “cooling” effect to the digestive system, which especially helps with Pitta-related ulcers and hyperacidity.

Ginger

This recipe includes both fresh ginger and dry ginger, which actually have different effects on the body. Fresh ginger awakens the digestive fire and increases bodily heat, whereas dry ginger has a cooler, more cleansing effect. The combination of both keeps this recipe balanced for Pitta and Vata types.
