Ingredients
250 gram Green Peas
250 gram Carrots
500 gram Fenugreek Leaves
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1/2 tsp Cumin Seeds
1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
a small piece Fresh Ginger
1/2 tsp Garam Masala
1/2 tsp Coriander Powder
Salt according to taste
How to prepare Gajar Matar Methi
Start the preparations by washing the carrots, peeling them and finally cutting them into cubes. Pick the methi leaves from the thick stems, wash them and finally cut them small as well. Peel the ginger and cut it into tiny pieces so that you have about on teaspoon of ginger.
Heat up the oil in a non-stick pan or in a wok. When it is hot, add cumin seeds, garam masala, coriander powder, turmeric powder and fresh ginger into the pan. Stir so that the spices don’t burn but can develop their aroma.
When the spices have slightly changed their colour, add the carrots, stir once, add the peas and then mix the spices well under these vegetables. Cover the pot with a lid for about ten minutes and let the vegetables get cooked at medium heat. You can stir once or twice in between.
After ten minutes, add the methi into the pot and stir once to mix it into the rest. Place the lid on your pan again and thus cover it for another five minutes of cooking.
Now you can take the lid off your pan and let your vegetables get cooked in the next five minutes without any lid on. Your dish is ready when it is all soft!
Enjoy!
Ayurvedic Benefits
- Individuals with Kapha-Vata dominance will find this Methi Gajar Matar particularly balancing. Its warming and spicy and digestive-supporting nature helps counteract the cold qualities of both doshas.
- From an Ayurvedic perspective, the following ingredients provide particular therapeutic qualities:
- Turmeric (Haldi) provides anti-inflammatory benefits and improves overall circulation. It helps purify the blood and supports liver function.
- Ginger enhances digestive fire (agni) and helps eliminate toxins. Its warming energy is particularly beneficial for Vata and Kapha doshas.
- Cumin (Jeera) helps reduce gas and bloating while supporting proper digestion. It has a warming effect that benefits Vata and Kapha.
- Coriander (Dhania) has a cooling energy that helps balance Pitta while supporting digestive strength. It adds a fresh flavor component.
- Turmeric brings its golden color and powerful anti-inflammatory properties to this dish. In Ayurveda, it's considered tridoshic (balancing for all constitutions) when used appropriately.
- Ginger adds a warming element that supports healthy digestion and improves circulation. It helps reduce ama (toxins) and enhances the body's ability to process foods efficiently.
- The balanced combination of spices in this recipe works synergistically to enhance digestion while providing multiple therapeutic benefits, from improving circulation to supporting healthy metabolism.
- Body Type Recommendation:
- Best for: Kapha-Vata body type
