The Simple Indian Cookbook

The Simple Indian Cookbook is an unassuming and inexpensive compilation of classic Indian dishes as prepared at the Kaivalyadhama Health and Yoga Research Center in Lonavla, Maharashtra, India. Each dish includes an Ayurvedic prescription so that you can use the dish to help balance your dosha, which is your mind-body type in Ayurveda. Established in 1924, the Kaivalyadhama Health and Yoga Research Center was the first institution to do scientific studies on the physiological effects of yoga. Today, the sprawling campus includes a yoga school, research library, and an Ayurvedic hospital and health care center.
