Ayurvedic philosophy knows no boundaries and can be used in any cuisine. The important thing is to use the right ingredients and spices, to round off the flavours sweet, sour, salty, hot, bitter and tart and to take the 5 elements into account. Try the gluten-free Ayurveda burger and immerse yourself in the world of Ayurveda.
How did the recipe come about?
I had a real craving for bread or rolls. As I have to be very careful what I eat and where I buy it, I decided to search my kitchen cupboard and fridge to satisfy my craving for bread and my lunchtime hunger. The result is the following recipe.
What makes the Ayurveda burger Ayurvedic?
Ayurveda is all about balance and the right combination of ingredients and spices. Ayurveda is based on the season, as the weather influences our energetic principles, the so-called doshas. The hot summer has irritated the PITTA dosha with its element of fire and needs some balancing before we move into autumn/winter, the VATA and KAPHA season. PITTA Dosha needs the flavours sweet, bitter and tart to balance it out. The spices and ingredients in this burger have been matched accordingly.
What exactly are doshas?
The doshas originate from the five elements and can be understood as three superordinate energetic principles. They are forces that control all processes in organisms. A good interplay of the three forces results in a balanced state of the living being.
VATA
means ‘that which causes movement’. VATA is the force that moves the other two doshas.
VATA is responsible for all physical/mental movements and sensations in the body.
VATA = the principle of movement
PITTA
means ‘that which digests, transforms’. It controls all of the body's metabolic processes and heat production.
PITTA = the principle of metabolism and dynamics
KAPHA
means ‘that which holds things together’. It gives everything a structure - from the cell to the skeleton and muscle structure.
KAPHA = the principle of conservation and structure
