1 (14oz) can of coconut milk
1/2 cup chia seeds
1/4 cup coconut flakes
Handful of shelled pistachios
2 tsp maple syrup
1/4 tsp ground cardamom
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Dried rose petals, for garnish (optional)

Directions

In a medium bowl, stir together the coconut milk, chia seeds, coconut flakes, pistachios, maple syrup, cardamom, and vanilla.

Scoop the mixture into a small saucepan and heat on low for 1-2 minutes, just until warm.
Garnish with rose petals and enjoy.

Notes

Chia seeds have many benefits; they promote endurance and strength, and they are moist and grounding. The pudding has a lubricative quality that is good for digestion. The combination of ingredients and spices make for a lovely way to soothe pitta.

Dosha Type

This is best for pitta for vata/pitta type conditions. It can soothe inflammation and painful chewing.
