This is a delicious corn dish taken from Plant-Based India by Dr. Shell Shukla. It is easy, quick to prepare and sooo yummy!
Prep time: 20 minutes

¼ cup (35 g) unsalted cashews, raw or roasted, soaked in ½ cup (120 ml) hot water for 15 minutes
Garam Masala
Garam masālā means “warm spice blend” in Hindi, and it provides incredible nuance and warmth without spicy heat. Black cardamom (which offers smoky depth) and mace (the outer coating of nutmeg, which lends a subtle floral sweetness) can be found in Indian grocery stores. Feel free to omit them if they’re not available.
Prep time: 15 minutes
1½ tbsp fennel seeds

Tomato Onion Masala
In my opinion, when we cook Indian food, masala serves as a foundation for many recipes. This masala of smoky tomato, onion and garlic fortifies the vatta and moves the energy for Kapha dosha. It is based on many gravy-based Indian dishes. This recipe requires effort, but it can be easily made in advance. I like to do a larger batch and freeze it in small portions. It is so good it does not stay long in the freezer.

Green Sprouts and Portobello Salad
This light and complete salad are good for all doshas. Nutritional yeast, as you may know, does not actually contain yeast; this is just its commercial name. It is very rich in vitamin B12.
The portobello mushrooms in this recipe are disease-fighting phytochemicals. They also supply hard-to-get nutrients. One portobello mushroom supplies 21% of the daily recommended intake of selenium and ⅓ of your need for copper. It also contains as much potassium as a banana. Mushrooms hold their nutrients even when they are stir-fried or grilled.
