Vaidya Culinary Note (original international baked-fruit dessert adaptation)
Warm Cherry Almond Crisp is a warm fruit dessert with restrained sweetener. 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.
