Notes

• So you want to bring a crowd pleasing dip to a party but you also want it to be digestable and not weigh you and everyone else down - this is it.

• The broccolini and spices in this dish help to offset the heaviness of the cottage cheese making it suitable for kaphas.

• Cottage cheese tends to be easier to digest than other cheeses. Good for vata and pitta but keep in mind that kapha should have all cheese in moderation.
