Recommendations for doshas
Vata: Mushrooms are considered heavy for the digestive system and should be consumed in moderation. Preferably as lunch and together with spices that stimulate Agni (digestive fire). Pasta and nuts are a good choice for Vata Type. Especially in the winter, this dish can be comforting and grounding.
Pitta: This is an appropriate dish for lunch. Remove the garlic and use a mild curry instead of a spicy one.
Kapha: This dish could be cooked with gluten-free pasta or lentil pasta to avoid the heaviness. Using garlic and hot spices is very useful for Kapha and creates a balanced meal for this dosha as well. Eating a fresh salad with bitter herbs like chicory or arugula is also beneficial for Kapha.
This recommendation is only for lunch. Raw food should generally be avoided in the evening, according to Ayurveda teachings.
