Summer Ayurvedic Spice Mix

Summer Ayurvedic Spice Mix


  • Author: Amanda Meadows

Description

Beat the summer heat with this Summer Ayurvedic Spice Mix – salt-free and packed with balancing goodness! This mix features coriander, cumin, fennel, turmeric, and cardamom to keep those fiery summer qualities in check. You don’t need to be Pitta to benefit from this blend; as we’re in summer Pitta season Pitta could be rising within everyone so it’s best to keep it in check before hot flushes, skin rashes and anger get the better of you. 

Ingredients

1 tbsp coriander seeds
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp fennel seeds
1 tbsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp cardamom powder

Instructions

Dry roast the coriander, cumin and fennel seeds in a heavy-bottomed pan on medium heat for a few minutes until you can smell them. Let them cool completely.

Grind to a uniform consistency in a spice-dedicated coffee grinder or by hand with a mortar and pestle.

Mix in the tumeric and cardamon then store in an air-tight jar.

When you’re ready to use your spice blend, add fresh herbs instead of salt for a light, bloat-free summer meal.

Notes

I always make a big batch of of this spice blend simply by multiplying the quantities by four. I then throw it on EVERYTHING! My go-to at the moment for meals is to cook some brown rice, add chopped seasonal veg and store in the fridge. I then simply pop some ghee to a pain, add the spice mix and fresh herbs for about a minute on a gentle heat – then add the rice/veg mix. Easy, delicious, and perfect for sunny days! So if you’re stuck for lunch ideas, give this ago – you can have it warm or cold.
