Ayurveda suggests eating as per your body type. Each food has a specific property based on which it nourishes our body. Eating according to our body type helps to maintain health and boost our immunity.
Ajwain paratha is more suitable for Vata & Kapha body type. But still, we can make some changes in the recipe to make it more suitable according to our body type.
Changes to make in this recipe according to your body type:
Vata – Put more ghee to your meal.
Pitta – Add fewer carom seeds.
Kapha – Use barley flour instead of whole wheat flour.
