It's time to begin transitioning our diet from summer to fall. To help us in the process, Alandi Ayurveda Gurukula student Savitri offers this warm, nourishing and vata-soothing pumpkin seed sauce to serve over seasonal roasted vegetables.

Ingredients

1 cup pumpkin seeds
1 cup water
1 small tomato, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1 yellow or orange bell pepper, chopped

½ tsp. oregano
½ handful parsley, chopped
1/8 tsp. turmeric
1-2 Tbsp. ghee

Fry the pumpkin seeds with the ghee in an iron cast pan until they turn

golden.

In a different pan, sauté the rest of the ingredients except the parsley in this order: bell peppers, tomato, garlic. At the end add the spices. Blend all the ingredients together, including the parsley.

Cook the sauce for a few minutes until you have the desired consistency.

Pour it over your favourite roast vegetables.
