Cold milk, except in certain circumstances, is not recommended in Ayurveda since it has heavy and cooling qualities and can be overly mucus-forming. Unhomogenised and raw are harder to come by, but make sure whichever milk you can find that you prep it well to get the best from it. So opt for whole milk and if you need something lighter, cook with plenty of water rather than choosing skimmed or semi-skimmed milk, and go for organic where possible. The quality of the milk you kick off with is important: real milk is whole and unhomogenised. There are a few exceptions, though, and milk is totally fine to make porridge and rice puddings, or combined with dates or almonds. MilkĪs a general rule, milk is best enjoyed alone or combined with spices like in my Golden Milk, simmered to make it more digestible and served warm. One of my most-loved dishes is the courgette zac ‘n’ cheese (page 139 in East by West) - give it a go and let me know what you think! 4.

Read more about the wonders of this Ayurvedic golden fat here. Ghee is the perfect fat to cook almost anything in - grains, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, meat, fish, eggs and cooked fruit benefit from this heat-stable clarified butter the most. Why not make up a bowl of warming kitchari, with mung dal, white basmati rice and tonnes of veg? 2. To enjoy lentils at their best, soak them first (see the article for exceptions), cook them until completely tender (no al dente please!) and combine them with grains, vegetables, other beans, nuts or seeds, and plenty of digestive spices. Cooking them right is the key (FYI lentils are much easier to cook and digest than beans so I stick to them mostly!). Beans and lentilsīeans and legumes are a great source of protein - especially for vegans and vegetarians - as well as being affordable. Eat these foods together to strengthen your Agni and feel ready to overcome any hurdles ahead. I previously shared which foods shouldn’t be eaten together if you can help it, and here’s a list of tummy-happy food combos embraced by Ayurvedic cooking.
