Expert Yogi Posts: 5098   Location: Somewhere in the Mountains of Western NC | Hi Anya, That's a nice recipe. I have so many variations for Sweet Potatoes with Coconut Milk. Satyam's favorite food is Pumpkin, milk and rice. He cooks the Pumpkin with Methi aka. fenugreek and ghee. It's getting to be that time of the year for *orange* vegetables. Anyway, I've never heard of Earth Balance????? I use Ghee. For anyone who likes traditional mashed potatoes, you can always add a couple of sweet potatoes to the pot. I used to sneak these in on my kids and they loved them. I use the hand mixer also, it makes them smooth.....  Thanks again, Cyndi | ||

Expert Yogi Posts: 5098 Location: Somewhere in the Mountains of Western NC | I don't know Zoebird if I could handle pineapple in my sweet potatoes. That's one of those food combining no no's for me. As much as I love pineapple, it is one of those fruits that my body's constitution has to handle by itself. As for sweet potatoes, that is a rarity item that I only eat seldom due to the effect it has on my triple burning space. To eat them with pineapple would have a counter effect for me since Sweet Potatoes are good for yin deficiencies, and treats constipation and diarrhea, pineapple on the other had treats diarhea and abdominal swelling and is sour as well as sweet. Sometimes together is not always correct..especially for us older people. You younger people can have at it though,  | ||

| well, i like it. i'm thinking of trying it with the coconut milk. i haven't had it that way. usually when i make them, i make them spicy and use veggie broth instead of milk and butter. i like the flavor.  | |||

Expert Yogi Posts: 5098 Location: Somewhere in the Mountains of Western NC | Spicy??? Are you like nuts??? Sweet and spicy does not go very well together for my pitta dosha much less my vata. Well, I would love to hear how your triple burner fairs after eating all that, Probably the only thing that will save you is the fact that you didn't add the milk and butter. In that case, I could probably eat them mildly spicy, BTW, when Satyam cooks with Methi, it balances out the dish, therefore making it not too sweet and too heavy for the kapha dosha. Methi is really good for diabetics and drying dampness which eating too many sweet potatoes, cocunut and milk could potentially do. SP's also plays hell with the kapha dosha if eaten in excess without the Methi. Which is why Indians use this spice in a lot of dishes. Edited by Cyndi 2005-09-27 3:40 PM | ||

| i find that kapha doshas are the most interesting to learn about. my sister is this one predominently, and she does best on a mild "meat and potatoes" kind of diet. it's rather interesting. i, though, do much better on spicy, lots of veggies, moderate eggs and dairy--no need for meat--and very few grains/potatoes. I only have SPs a couple times a year. I only have potatoes a couple times a year! i find that if i eat them too often, i get lethargic. But, if they're spicy or tart (from the pineapple for example), then i do ok. | |||

Expert Yogi Posts: 5098 Location: Somewhere in the Mountains of Western NC | zoebird - 2005-09-27 4:11 PM i could be confusing my dohsha balancing concept with my dominant dosha concept. Don't worry, they are not as cut and dry as they may seem. I use the dosha concept more of as a guideline not a definitive way of life. I find that the knowledge of Ayurveda has helped me tremendously when making food choices for myself when I KNOW something is out of balance within me and my family. It's more of an intuitive thing with my family, (which is about 85% accurate), however, I did get everyone diagnosed so that I could know how to treat them when sickness and their being out of balance happen. I use TCM principals with mostly everything I do. It seems to be a more complete and balanced method of use for me and I've studied and practiced it longer than Ayurveda. Especially with using acupuncture and balancing the meridian channels. Ayurveda is a simplistic form of medicine which is very similar to TCM, I just don't have many sources available to live my daily life in a balanced way using strictly Ayurvedic methods. I don't like Triphala and the way it tastes, Of course, some TCM herbs are just as bad too, Edited by Cyndi 2005-09-27 4:39 PM | ||
