Spring is in the air and it’s the perfect time to enjoy this chickpea flatbread with an Ayurvedic spin! Traditional flatbread pizzas can be heavy and hard on the digestive system. This flatbread uses chickpea flour, ghee and seasonal veggies; making it gluten & grain free, easy on the digestive system and packed with nutrients!
Chickpea flour is a great addition to an Ayurvedic spring diet. It’s considered astringent, which means it can help dry up excess kapha and remain light on the digestive system. This particular crust is flavored with Farmtrue’s Cooling Spice blend and garlic scape ghee, making it also appropriate for vata and pitta types. If you have a tendency toward Kapha in the digestive (heaviness, loss of appetite, etc.) I recommend enjoying a mug of CCF tea to 30 minutes before your meal to increase the digestibility.
The amazing thing about this recipe is its’ versatility. Feel free to mix it! You can mix different spice blends into the chickpea flour crust and top with any seasonal veggies that are fresh and local to you. Get creative and enjoy!
