Completely agree — the article would be so much more practical with even rough ratios. Knowing that hing is used in a pinch while jeera gets a full teaspoon changes everything about how you replicate the therapeutic intent at home.

My experience is the tikta profile shifts a lot depending on that. ✨

The article touches on intent but not on frequency.

I cook dal almost daily and never thought about the hing + jeera tempering as a deliberate Vata-pacifying rasa combination until I read this.

Any chance of a simplified weekday version — maybe just two or three key rasas rather than the full combination?

Would be stronger if it acknowledged that not every kitchen tradition got the rasa ratios right.
