Ayurvedic Adjustments per Dosha

For Vata (dry, cold, light, mobile)

• Oil: Use sesame oil instead of olive oil (more warming and grounding).

• Spices: Add cumin, cinnamon, or ginger for extra warmth.

• Toppings: Opt for sour cream with fresh dill or cilantro for easier digestion.

For Pitta (hot, sharp, intense, fiery)

• Oil: Use coconut oil (cooling) instead of olive oil.

• Spices: Use coriander, fennel, or mint.

• Toppings: Choose plain sour cream over mayo to keep it cooling.

For Kapha (heavy, cold, slow, moist)

• Oil: Stick with olive oil or try mustard oil (stimulating).

• Spices: Add chili flakes, black pepper, or dried ginger for extra heat.

• Toppings: Avoid heavy toppings like mayo—a sprinkle of nutritional yeast or fresh parsley is a better option.

Enjoy these crispy sweet potato fries with an Ayurvedic twist, perfectly suited for your dosha! 😊
