Ayurvedic Ginger Pear Crisp

Highlights

• Pear and ginger both have a great number of benefits.

• Combine them both to make this delicious and healthy dessert.

A ginger pear crisp is a delicious dessert but tends to be on the unhealthier side. But, the truth is that both pears and ginger have a number of Ayurvedic benefits. Pear (nashpati) is a sweet and light fruit and balances all three doshas, while ginger (adrak) balances the vata and kapha and is excellent for the digestive and respiratory systems.

Here is a recipe for a healthy and hearty ayurvedic ginger pear crisp

Ingredients

• 3 pears

• 1 lemon

• 4 tbsp grated ginger

• 1 cups all purpose flour (maida)

• 1 cup oats

• 2/3 cup honey

• ½ cup ghee

Method

• Peel, seed and chop the pears.

• Squeeze the juice from one lemon over the pears.

• Combine these two in a saucepan along with the grated ginger and let it simmer for 10-12 minutes.

• While this mixture is simmering, separately combine the flour, oats, honey and ghee.

• Divide this mixture into two equal parts. Place one half into a baking tin and pat it down till firm.

• Pour the pear and ginger mixture on top of it and cover it with the remaining flour and oat mixture.

• Bake for 40 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

• Once you take it out of the oven, allow it to cool till it firms and then take it out of the baking pan.

• Enjoy!
