Kitchari Recipe

Kitchari is a great mono-diet food for cleansing because it contains carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It is great for all doshas and makes for the perfect meal after a fast or during a Panchakarma treatment. It is soul nourishing!

Ingredients:

1 C Mung Beans (green or yellow)

1 C Basmati Rice

6 C of water

Freshly grated ginger

Ghee

1/4 tsp Salt

1/2 tsp Coriander

1/2 tsp Cumin

1/2 tsp Mustard Seed

1/2 tsp Turmeric

Add fresh seasonal vegetables as you see fit.

Directions:

Soak mung beans overnight.

Boil mung dahl and rice together for about 20 minutes, or until soft. In a separate pan, saute the mustard seeds with ghee until they begin to pop and crackle. Add remaining spices to the mustard seeds and mix together until a paste is formed.

Add the spice mixture to the rice and dahl and mix thoroughly. Add salt and pepper to taste. (Fun fact: pepper helps to activate the curcumin in the turmeric.)

Enjoy!
