Rasam
Also called: rasam, saaru, pepper rasam
A thin, peppery tamarind broth — light, warming and appetite-kindling; clears Kapha.
How Rasam affects your doshas
In Ayurveda a food's effect depends on your constitution. This is the lens the app uses to suggest what to favour and ease off.
| Dosha | Suitability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vata | Neutral | Broadly neutral for Vata. |
| Pitta | Use sparingly | Can raise Pitta — go easy when Pitta runs high. |
| Kapha | Balancing | Calms Kapha — favour it when Kapha runs high. |
When to go easy
Sour and peppery, so it can add to Pitta.
