INDIVIDUALIZED HEALING THROUGH HOLISTIC WELLBEING.
Warm ghee in a skillet or wide saucepan over medium-low heat.
Add onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5–7 minutes.
Stir in coriander, fennel, and cumin, allowing the spices to bloom in the ghee until fragrant.
Add peas and vegetable broth. Simmer gently for 8–10 minutes, until peas are tender.
Lightly mash some of the peas with the back of a spoon to create a creamy, rustic texture while leaving some whole for body.
Add spinach and stir just until wilted.
Pour in coconut milk and gently warm through. Do not boil.
Remove from heat and finish with fresh dill or cilantro and sea salt to taste.
Add a small squeeze of lime or lemon if desired just before serving.
Serve warm over basmati rice or quinoa.
This dish is especially supportive in summer when heat, dryness, and mental overstimulation begin to increase. The combination of sweet green peas, cooling spinach, and coconut milk offers gentle nourishment without heaviness, while the light spice blend supports digestion without aggravating Pitta. Served over grains, it becomes grounding and sustaining while remaining easy to digest. The overall effect is creamy, calming, and stabilizing for Vata–Pitta balance.
Green Peas
Sweet, slightly starchy, and gently grounding, peas are nourishing for Vata while remaining light enough for Pitta when freshly cooked. Their sweet post-digestive effect supports tissue building and steadiness without heaviness. When lightly mashed, they create a creamy base that is satisfying yet easy to digest.
Spinach
Bitter and slightly astringent, spinach supports detoxification and cooling in the body, making it especially helpful for rising Pitta in early summer. When lightly cooked, it becomes more digestible and less drying, contributing minerals and light vitality to the dish.
Coriander — Cooling, light, and deeply Pitta-pacifying. Supports digestion while reducing internal heat and mental overstimulation.
Fennel — Sweet, cooling, and carminative. Soothes the digestive tract and gently balances Vata–Pitta digestion.
Cumin — Mildly warming and highly digestive, supporting agni without overheating when used in small amounts.
Together, these spices create a soft, balanced digestive fire (Agni)—strong enough to process nourishment without creating excess heat or stimulation.
