The Satvik Mahabhoj is prepared based on the traditional Vedic principle for a healthy life, involving the right combination of six tastes in one’s meal, namely- sweet, salty, sour, pungent, astringent and bitter,

The meal has a season based appetizer for starters.

Fresh seasonal vegetables, cottage cheese and pulses form the main part of the meal.

They are prepared with mild seasoning, but ensuring that the original taste comes through.

For this onion and garlic are not used in cooking. Two preparations of rice and chapaatis are part of the lunch, while evening meal has rice and a choice of chapaatis.

The meal has to its accompaniment a curd item, salad, pickles, and roasted crisp papad

The finale consists of two varieties of sweet dish.

(though this is the accepted order of serving, strictly speaking the order as per Ayurveda is first sweet, followed by salty, then sour, then pungent, then astringent and last the bitter taste. The Ayurvedic order is conducive to an easier digestion and assimilation of food.)
