- Start by washing the rice. Mix it with double the amount of water (or vegetable stock) and a pinch of salt. Cook on high heat with the lid on until the water starts boiling. Then, turn the heat to low and let it cook for about 10 minutes.

- Heat 1 tablespoon of ghee in a frying pan, add the garam masala powder, and let it cook for about 1 minute until the ghee is infused with flavor.
- Add the vegetables and cook them for about 5–10 minutes, depending on your preferred texture (crunchy or soft). You can add a little water (up to 50 ml) during the cooking process if needed.
- Meanwhile, beat the eggs with a bit of milk (optional), salt, and pepper. Heat the remaining ghee in a frying pan and cook an omelette.
- Serve the rice, vegetables, and eggs. Sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired and enjoy your quick lunch!

Tip: if you want to eat this dish for dinner, use lentils or mung beans(for vata)
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.
