Serves 4 Doshic Notes Vata, neither increases nor decreases Pitta, reduces Kapha, reduces
Ingredients

3 cups mung sprouts 1/2 cup carrots and/or zucchini, finely chopped 1 to 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 teaspoon mineral rock salt 1 teaspoon cumin powder 1 teaspoon fennel powder 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder just enough water to blend 2 cups blue corn flour

DIY: Sprout 1 and 1/2 cups green mung beans (which usually takes a couple of days) in preparation for this dish. That will give you the 3 cups of sprouts needed for this recipe.
Preparation
Then once the sprouts are ready, lightly oil a baking dish with coconut oil or ghee and heat the oven to 375 degrees. Blend the first set of ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour the blended ingredients into a bowl and gradually add about 2 cups of blue corn flour. You’re aiming for a thick consistency with a texture closer to cake batter (but not as smooth) than bread dough. Pour the batter into the lightly oiled baking dish and place into the hot oven. It is cooked when the sides of the bread pull away slightly from the pan and the center is firm. It should be nicely soft and moist inside, but not gooey or sticky. This bread is divine when topped with an avocado dressing made by simply mashing an avocado and adding salt, pepper, and just enough lime juice or water to make a creamy sauce. The same mixture can also be used to make pancakes. Just pour the desired amount onto a pre-heated frying pan that has been lightly oiled with coconut oil or ghee. Then place a lid on the pan and allow the pancakes to cook through on one side before turning them over to cook on the other.
Note: This is a relatively high-protein bread substitute for people who can’t or don’t want to eat wheat or yeast. It is best eaten fresh, but if you have leftovers, they’re nicest when toasted. Mung beans are sattvic and balancing to all constitutions. They are light, easily digestible, and a good food for cleansing, especially when combined with digestive spices. Sprouting mung beans combines the advantages of eating the whole beans with the lightness and cooling energy of sprouting. Some people find that eating too many mung spouts gives them gas and makes them feel ungrounded. In this recipe, they’re blended and cooked with spices such as cumin and turmeric, making them more digestible. Blue corn is sattvic and balancing to all three doshas. An ancient, less hybridized corn, it is also less allergenic than ordinary yellow corn. Buckwheat or amaranth flour also work well as a higher-protein alternative to blue corn flour.

Makes approximately 1 dozen chapatis Laxmi is Indian whole wheat flour and has a grainy texture. It can be purchased at Indian grocery stores. You may use whole wheat pastry flour in place of chapati flour. Doshic Notes Tridosha balancing Vata = Pitta = Kapha =
Ingredients
4 cups Laxmi brand (or whole wheat) flour 2 cupswater 3/4 tsp salt small bowl of safflower oil
Preparation
Mix the flour and the salt. Make a well in the center of the flour and begin to add the water, about ¼ cup at a time. Knead thoroughly with your hands after each addition. Keep adding water until you have a stiff dough that will not stick to your hands. You may need to use more or less water than the recipe calls for, depending upon the humidity of the climate. Cover the dough and set it aside for half an hour. Now take a small handful of dough, about the size of a small egg, and roll it into a ball. Roll the ball in flour and flatten a little with your palms or a rolling pin. Brush or pat one side with oil, without putting it on the edges. Lightly dip the oiled side into flour. Fold over in half, covering the oiled side, and fold in half again. Pinch the edges together. Dip both sides in flour and roll out until thin and even, about 5 inches across. To roll it into a nice round shape, it helps to give the chapati a bit of a turn each time before you roll it again. Place the chapati on a hot, seasoned—but not oily—chapati or frying pan until it bubbles up and the bottom has brown spots. A cast iron skillet works too. Dab with oil and flip it over, cooking it until lightly brown on bottom. The chapati should be cooked in 2-4 minutes. Wrap them in a clean tea towel until ready to serve.
