Doshic Considerations
This Coconut Lime Rice recipe can be tailored to any dosha by following the recommendations listed below.
Vata should use full fat coconut milk; and can add extra lime leaves if desired.
Pitta should use full fat or lite coconut milk; should garnish with extra cilantro and mint; should eliminate the cashew nut garnishes; and only 1/4 tsp of salt.
Kapha should only use 1 cup of coconut milk and replace with water; should use lite coconut milk instead of full fat; should eliminate the cashew and coconut chip garnishes; and should use 1/4 or less of salt.
