Cauliflowers with Coconut, Red Peppers and Peanuts

Nothing like a shredded fresh coconut, it has the fresh enzymes that pitta need to cool down and the right amount of fat to pacify vatta. This recipe is a colorful addition to a rice of quinoa dish, and of course it is a great companion to any fresh salad. If you are not that friendly to peanuts, you can use almonds, walnuts or sunflowers seed to add a little crunchy texture to this dish.

For vatas you can add a little more ginger, for pitta more coconut and for kapha more chilli. Customize your dish for where you are at.
