Coconut-mint dal is a cherished food in ayurveda. It's delicious, easy to prepare and is balancing to all three doshas (tridoshic). It is even more balancing when cooked with ayurvedic spices. Over and above this, dal is very nourishing and easy to digest. The coconuts add something in addition to flavour, too. Coconuts increase the quantity and quality of all seven tissues and are Vata-pacifying in nature. Also, because of coconuts' unctuous qualities, they cool and strengthen, and Chakara says, "They are filled with sweetness."
