Hi friends today I will tell u right method to cook according to Ayurveda .

We should keep in mind about dosha and prakuriti .

Use lot of vegetables and variety of vegetables to control dosha as some vegetables increase vata and some don't .

Chop vegetables in small cubes.

Take clay pot or a suitable pan.

Roast cumin seeds in a pan.

Add some water and chopped vegetables.

Cook on low flame/heat until vegetables become soft.

Remove pan from heat.

Now, take nuts or seeds, tomatoes, green chillies, fresh ginger, black pepper, turmeric, green cardamom seeds and cinnamon in a food processer. Blend the mixture and make the puree.

Add this puree in cooked vegetables and cover the pan with a lid for 10 minutes.

Now chop coriander leaves and mix chopped coriander leaves in cooked vegetables.

Ayurveda advises adding fat ghee or oil  with vegetables. Because it reduces Vata Aggravating properties of vegetables

. Not all vegetables increase Vata dosha.

There is a specific method described in ayurveda for a few vegetables. It applies to vegetables, which aggravates Vata Dosha and produces dryness in the body. 

Generally, it includes a few leafy green vegetables, e.g., spinach, Jivanti leaves, Bathua , barley leaves, Chakramarda leaves  etc.

Ayurveda describes the cooking method for these vegetables.

स्विन्नं निष्पीडितरसं स्नेहाढ्यं नातिदोषलम् । (Ashtang Hridaya, Sutra Sthana, Chapter 6, Verse 95)

There are three steps:

Boiling or Steaming.

Squeezing steamed vegetables to remove residual water.

Cooking, fortifying with fat or adding oil. 

Boil these vegetables in water.

Filter and discard the residual water and keep boiled or steamed vegetables.

Now add  the oil and cook  for 2-3 minutes. 

We need such food, which reduces fat in your body, removes Ama dosha and clears the blockages. Vegetables without adding oils do this job.  

Each type of vegetables has different effects on three dosha. Some increase vata, some pitta and some kapha. 

The key recommendation is to include a variety of vegetables in your daily diet without concerning about dosha. 

A variety of vegetables will nullify each other effects on the dosha and maintains their balance while providing a complete nourishment.
