Important Note

Besan naturally absorbs water and thickens as it rests. For lighter pancakes, adjust water slightly as needed. Since besan is a warming, grounding flour, many people use it when they want a meal that feels steadier and easier on the gut. Store in a cool, dry place for freshness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Ayurveda is the ancient healthcare system of India. It is a Sanskrit word - Ayur means 'life' or 'daily living' and Veda means 'science'. Ayurveda then is the name given to the scientific study of life, based on the eternal principle that everyone should live in a healthy & balanced state.

No. While it is true that many Ayurvedic recipes use Indian ingredients, you are not required to only eat Indian food. Ayurveda gives you the understanding of the role digestion and nutrition play in creating a healthy life and how food can be used as a medicine to treat illness. This awareness can be applied to all foods. However, it is true that Ayurveda considers many of the heavily processed foods in our Western diet to be detrimental to our digestion and good health.

No. In fact, there are some Ayurvedic preparations that use animal products to treat specific ailments. However, Ayurveda recognises that meat is very heavy and the stomach struggles to digest it properly. Without the addition of particular kitchen herbs to aid digestion, this undigested food can become toxic, leading to many health problems.

Also, because meat is heavy it is considered Tamasic, the qualities of which can dull the mind, making it sluggish & heavy. Ayurveda believes that a heavy & dull mind is unable to make good choices for us, which again can be the cause of many ailments.

Agni in Sanskrit means fire and is used to describe all metabolic functions in our body. All metabolic activity, including digestion, is ruled by Agni.

The digestive power and immune system depends on the proper functioning of Agni.
Agni takes the essence of nourishment from food, helps to carry out the metabolic reactions of the body and helps the immune system by destroying harmful organisms and toxins (Ama).

The state of the digestive fire is one of the most important concepts of Ayurvedic approach to health & wellbeing. It doesn’t matter how organic is the food you consume, if the body cannot metabolize it properly, then it is unable to access the nutrients that the food contains.

When Agni is well balanced, there will be proper digestion, excellent circulation of nutrients & proper elimination of waste products, maintaining a state of good mental and physical health!

To maintain balance of our Agni we have to develop a healthy life style including:

- Proper eating habits

- Proper sleep

- Proper fitness routine

- Control over emotions

The central principle of Ayurveda is that each human being has the right to live a healthy & fulfilled life (dharma), however, because of our unique body constitution, genetic inheritance and unhealthy diet & lifestyle choices, we are predisposed to certain diseases and health concerns.

Caraka, the great Ayurvedic sage, wrote,” When there is equilibrium in the body’s intelligences (Doshas), when the digestive fire (Agni) is in balance, when the seven bodily tissues (Dhatus) are functioning normally, the body's waste (mala) is being eliminated efficiently, when there is normal functioning of the five senses and harmony between body, mind & soul, then one can be said to be healthy.”

• Looks beyond the symptoms to the cause

• Recognises each individual has a unique constitution or “Body type”

• Acknowledges the human body is a microcosm of the universe

• Recognised diet, lifestyle & environment play a role in disease manifestation

• Places importance on optimum digestive fire being the key to health

• Considers the six tastes as essential for our wellbeing

• Acknowledges balance of Mind, Body & Soul as pathway to total wellness

• Provides an opportunity for individuals to take responsibility for their health

Ayurveda believes that a properly nourished body, that is free from toxins, is the abode of a creative mind and indomitable spirit.

Ayurveda has a simple treatment plan:

• Stop the further accumulation of toxins in the body by improving digestion. Food is then “cooked” properly, preventing the build up of toxins.
• Remove accumulated toxins from the body through herbal preparations and specific Ayurvedic treatments like massage.
• Nourish the depleted tissues through diet, herbal preparations & lifestyle changes.
