Doshic Considerations

This Ayurvedic Curry Powder recipe is Tridoshic so balancing to all dosha.

When you create a masala you are building the cosmic pillars for primal nourishment through food, breath and sound. You are honing the vibration of the mind and resuscitating the spirit, bringing them into a state of heightened awareness. The nose becomes a direct route to consciousness; the eyes, the gateway to light; the ears, a pathway to peace. The tongue receives the blessings of flavors, and the sense of touch leads the way to reforming your experience.
