Everyday Kitchari

---

It’s easy to make a different kitchari every day of the week but this is a simple and delicious version that I always come back to. Add whatever seasonal vegetables you have in your fridge and you have an incredibly simple and nutritious meal.

Ingredients (serves 6)

• 1 cup basmati rice, soaked for 8 hours or overnight

• 1/2 cup yellow mung dal, soaked for 8 hours or overnight

• 2 tbsp ghee (or coconut/sesame oil)

• 1/2 tsp black mustard seeds

• 1/2 tsp cumin seeds

• pinch of asafoetida

• 1 tsp ground turmeric

• 1 tsp sea salt

• 6 cups water (1.5 litres)

• 1 tsp ground cumin

• 1 tsp ground coriander

• 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger

Directions

Drain mung dal and rice and rinse well. Heat ghee in a large pot then add mustard and cumin seeds and heat until fragrant and starting to pop. Next add the mung dal, rice and spices to the pot and stir to combine. After a few minutes add in the water and bring to a boil then lower the heat and simmer for around 30 minutes until the mung dal is very soft. Remove from the heat and serve with seasonal vegetables, fresh herbs and an ayurvedic chutney.
