Kichari

Kichari


1 cup mung beans

1 cup rice

1 tbsp each peppercorn, cumin, curry leaves, turmeric

Pinch of hing (optional)

Salt to taste

Coriander leaves

Tbsp of ghee (optional)

Finely sliced carrots, onions, garlic and tomatoes.


One onion and one carrot would be enough. One or two tomatoes could be used and I like it with a lot of garlic. About four cloves. If you like, about an inch of ginger also goes really good in the pot!

This is a very easy recipe to make. It is used during cleansing and can also be used for people who are recovering from any kind of illness. I truly is a whole food.

Simply cut all of the vegetables fine, and toss everything into the pot.

Remember to wash the rice and beans a few times just to get rid of dust.

Cook on medium heat-it takes about twenty minutes to cook.

You can serve this with soup, Indian pickles or yogurt. It goes really well with cucumber and tomato salad too.

Kichari is a lovely dish that is used to cleanse the body.

A great way to use kichari as a cleanse is to eat it for three days exclusively.

This helps to reduce all toxins in the body and improves digestion.
