Ayurvedic Vata Churna

This is a recipe for a Vata Balancing spice mix, used in AyurVedic cooking. I make this churna in small batches and use it often in all my root veggie dishes and in soups as well. This spice powder has a robust deep flavor which perks up the dish and it tastes extra yummy when your vata is imbalanced. The specific spices used in this churna balance the vata dosha.

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons whole fennel seeds.
• 1 tablespoon whole coriander seeds.
• 1 tablespoon whole cumin seeds.
• 1 tablespoon ground turmeric.
• 1 tablespoon dried basil.
• 2 teaspoons powdered ginger.
• 2 teaspoons salt.
• 1 teaspoon asafetida (hing)

Store in a glass jar and it will stay fresh for up to a month.
