2026 August 18
A treat that fits into any day-to-day life
Warm, fragrant, aromatic: these Ayurvedic spiced biscuits combine delicate spicy notes with ease of preparation. Particularly suitable for Vata and Pitta types – Kapha types should opt for smaller portions due to the sweetness.

- ½ Teaspoon rock salt
- 2 Teaspoons of baking powder

- 1 Tablespoon of ghee or melted butter

- ½ Cup chopped pecans (or walnuts)
Ingredients for the topping
- ½ Cup of ghee or melted butter
- ½ Cup of coconut blossom sugar

Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 °C Preheat.
- Mix all the ingredients for the dough in a bowl until you have a smooth, soft dough.
- Spread the batter onto a baking tray or into a baking tin (approx. 38 × 25 cm) and smooth it out.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, prepare the topping: mix the melted ghee, coconut blossom sugar and cinnamon together well.
- Remove the pre-baked pastry from the oven and drizzle the topping evenly over it, or spread it thinly with a pastry brush.

Dosha note
The combination of vanilla, cinnamon, cardamom and aniseed gives these spiced biscuits a wonderful warmth.
- Vata: It is balanced by the rich ghee and the sweet, aromatic spices.
- Pitta: Its mild sweetness and subtle spices provide a pleasant soothing effect without adding any extra heat.
- Kapha: Enjoy the flavour, but it’s best to stick to small portions.
The finely balanced spices harmonise Vata and soothe Pitta. Kapha can be easily stimulated, so Kapha types should enjoy these pastries in moderation.
