Plum Chutney

(from The Raj Recipe Book, available at The Raj Maharishi Ayurveda Health Center)

The following recipe is good for pacifying Pitta dosha and makes 1 1/2 cups.

• 1 1/2 c. red or purple plums
• 1/2 Tbl. peeled, fresh ginger root, minced
• 1/4 tsp. each cloves, mace, cinnamon, coriander and turmeric
• 1/2 tsp. fennel
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 c. grape juice -optional,  I added water and was fine
• 1 1/2 c. granulated sugar - less sugar
• grated peel of one orange

Dry roast the ginger root, spices and fennel seeds. Add plums, salt, juice, sugar and grated orange peel.

Raise the heat slightly, and stirring constantly, bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook the chutney about 1/2 hour.

In ayurveda there are only three seasons: the cold and dry fall/ winter (Vata season), the cool and wet spring (Kapha season), and summer (Pitta season), which can be scorching hot.

Tul_Si NUtS bALl

Gather:

½ cup cashews
½ cup pecans
1 ½ cup pitted dates
½ cup sunflower seeds
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1 tablespoon tulsi powder
pinch of natural mineral salt

How To:

This is a really basic recipe and easy to make. Simply plug in your blender and toss in the pecans, cashews, and dates. Pulse until the nuts are finely chopped and dates are like a paste. Add the remaining ingredients and blend until thoroughly mixed.

Press the mixture between your palms, shape into balls, and place in the refrigerator to chill until ready to serve. Delicisssshhhh!
