This is a lovely, nourishing recipe from Divya that I’ve made several times—each with a slightly different twist. I really appreciate its versatility, which makes it easy to adapt depending on the season or what I have on hand.

This is only to say that taking care of yourself in an Ayurvedic fashion, to many people, is not traditionally exciting. But goodness is it gratifying, regulating and joy-inducing—which, to be fair, comes with its own excitement. Just not the kind we’re taught to want.
