🌿 Ayurvedic Benefits

• Carrots are grounding, sweet, and slightly warming; balancing Vata and mildly Pitta-reducing.
• Ginger enhances agni (digestive fire), especially useful during sluggish digestion or kapha imbalance.
• Ghee acts as a carrier for deeper nourishment and ojas enhancement.
• Helps in cleansing the liver and boosting circulation.

💡Pro Tips from the Indian Kitchen

• Use young, sweet carrots for best taste and color.
• Don’t overdo the ginger – it should warm, not overpower.
