Dosha Modifications & Seasonal Guidance
Vaidya Culinary Note (original international roasted-snack adaptation)
Roasted Green Pea Snack is roasted rather than deep-fried and is best served warm. 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.
