Easy Peasy Ayurvedic Recipe

One of the simplest Ayurvedic recipes is 'raita': grated cucumber stirred into plain yogurt. Spike it with roasted and ground cumin seeds (zeera), add a little salt, and yo! you've got the perfect, digestion-firendly, light-but-luscious summertime delight. You can add a few finely chopped fresh mint leaves and coriander leaves, but those are optional. Enjoy raita with freshly cooked dal and hot chapatis.

Practising Ayurveda isn't tedious at all: for a good part, it involves dishing up these quick, healing dishes. Stay tuned for more tips and recipes.
