SO SIMPLE! THE RECIPE, NOT FRITZ!!!
- 1 full pan with chopped up veggies - zucchini, tomatoes, carrots, peppers...
- Use the ghee as a base to cook with (butter with the milk solids removed - it helps with digestion, improves the absorption of nutrients, known to improve memory, lubricates connective tissue) If you are working with Ayurvedic recipes, ghee helps to calm Pitta and Vata
- sprinkle with the coolest spices - - don't forget the tumeric! (or buy the Vegetable Curry mix)
- cover and steam
- Serve with rice (We use 1 cup water, 1 cup coconut milk with 1 cup rice and throw it in the rice cooker)
