Notes
instead of eggs. Recommendations for doshas: Vata: is a nourishing, grounding dish for lunch. Add extra spices like
ginger to bring more heat in the digestive system. Pitta: can serve this dish with a green salad on side and some fresh
mint. Kapha: for this dosha is recommended to serve with boiled or poached eggs instead of omelette. This step will reduce the amount of fat. Fat increases the kapha energy, creating heaviness in the body. You can also add some ginger and cayenne pepper to the vegetable.
