Ayurvedic Corn Bread

Ayurvedic Corn Bread

Corn bread is a nourishing food that goes well with stews and soups. This recipe uses brown sugar and is good for the Vata and Pitta Doshas. In general, sweet breads are less balanced for Kapha, but thanks to the corn flour and relatively little oil, Kapha types can also enjoy this bread with pleasure.
