COOKING
Food plays an important role in our health and fitness. According to Ayurveda (knowledge of Life), cooking is not just about palatable food and flavourful dishes, rather it is the key to continuous good health. Ayurveda cooking means preparing food that ensures optimal health of body and mind.

Ayurvedic cooking includes the knowledge and use of herbs, spices, vegetables, legumes etc to maintain physical, mental, social and spiritual harmony. Ayurvedic principles can be applied to
any style of cooking. Herbs and spices like Turmeric, Cumin, Hingu, Fennel have great health giving benefits as well as adding flavour to any dish. Ayurveda foods are appetising, flavourful and aromatic and offer healing and good health when served in an inspiring atmosphere.

Ayurveda foods help to clean the accumulated toxins (which are a result of improperly digested food) and rejuvenate the body as each dish is cooked and spiced to achieve maximum digestibility.
Every individual has a unique body constitution (Dosha) and needs different foods to maintain overall health. For example, Vata is a cold dry dosha, hence person with Vata as predominant dosha need warm, nourishing foods, while the Pitta person requires cooling effect food to balance his/her fire element.

Ayurvedic cooking also take into account the effect of cooking method on the quality of the foods, the feelings of the cook and of the vibrations of surrounding atmosphere, the compatibility of foods, the time of cooking and eating, the cycle of the seasons.

Ayurveda considered food as a stimulant to a higher consciousness.
Thus, Ayurvedic cooking is both an art and a science. Food properly cooked and consumed works as a great medicine and helps one to lead a long, energetic and healthy life. Ayurveda cooking is not difficult, with a little knowledge you can cook an Ayurvedic meal with the help of commonly available ingredients. Pulses, grains, spices, fresh vegetables and fruits, ghee, and milk products play major role in Ayurvedic cooking. A balanced Ayurvedic diet should include all
six tastes in a meal – sweet, salty, sour, astringent, bitter, and pungent.

For people who have already attended course 1, or who have a good understanding of Ayurveda cooking and the use of spices.
On this course you will learn many new recipes including:
Paneer
Palak Paneer
Kadhi
Eggplant Bhartha
Vegatable or Pilao rice

and many more!
