Makes 4 servings

Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp. olive oil or ghee
  • 2 cloves of garlic, chopped
  • 1 inch of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
  • 4 cups fresh zucchini (can use broccoli, cauliflower, or any seasonal vegetable)
  • 1 lb. of fresh spinach leaves (can use any leafy greens: arugula, kale)

  • 2 tsp. curry powder or dosha specific spice mix
  • Sea salt, fresh lime juice and pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Heat the ghee or olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and chopped ginger, stirring, until translucent.
  2. Add the curry powder or your dosha mix, and salt to taste. Cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add the zucchini and stir to mix well. Add enough water to cover the zucchini; bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the zucchini is just tender.
