So in my Yoga class, we've recently been talking about food, like which ones are good and which ones are bad. There are three classes of foods. One of them is Tinnastic (sp?), which is the worst possible kind. It consists of frozen foods, heavily factory-made food, microwaves food, burnt food, and barbecued food. The other is Rajastic, which is stuff like meats, fish, eggs, sugar etc. The best possible kind is Sattvic, which consists purely of vegetables and fruits, whole grains, beans, and legumes.
My teacher wants us to make a recipe solely out of Sattvic foods.
Some of the restrictions are as follows:
NO garlic
NO onions
NO salt
NO Vinegar
NO Meat
(which completely throws out anything Filipino D:)
NO sugar
NO eggs
NO fats
You get the idea.
...YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS (for me, at least) TO COOK WITH NO GARLIC, ONIONS, PORK, OR FAT(s)?
I kind of want to make like an Asian Tofu stir-fry over soba noodles. But there's this one girl in my Yoga class completely OBSESSED with Japanese food, so I don't want to end up making the same thing. And another part of me wants to make a drink or a baked good, because I know no one would try to do something like that. And another part of me just want to do it easy and make Sago Gulaman.
I don't know. All the Sattvic recipes I found online are lame. I'll update when I figure out what I'm going to do.
