Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
In a cast iron or oven-safe skillet, sauté onions with cumin, salt, and pepper over medium heat for 3 minutes.
This Golden Spiced Garden Frittata is a perfect tridoshic meal, bringing together warming spices, fresh seasonal greens, and protein-rich eggs for a balanced start to the day. Cumin aids digestion and helps ignite Agni without overheating Pitta, making it a supportive spice for all doshas. Onions add a gentle pungency, beneficial for Vata and Kapha, while broccoli and chard provide fiber, minerals, and a slight bitterness to support liver function and natural detoxification.
Eggs offer grounding nourishment for Vata while remaining light enough to prevent Kapha stagnation. Cooking the frittata with a combination of baking and broiling enhances its airy texture, adding a delightful crispness to the top while keeping the dish easy to digest. This dish is both satisfying and balancing, perfect for breakfast or a light meal.
