Dosha Modifications & Seasonal Guidance
Vaidya Culinary Note (original East or Southeast Asian stir-fry adaptation)
Green Bean Carrot Sesame Stir-Fry is quickly cooked but served hot, with vegetables kept tender rather than raw. Vata: serve warm, cook until tender, and add a little ghee if the dish feels dry. Pitta: moderate chilies and sharp sourness, favoring coriander or fennel. Kapha: keep the portion light, reduce added fat, and favor ginger or black pepper.
