Kitcheri Recipe

Kitcheri

1 cup brown (or white) basmati rice (white rice makes for a 'mushier' consistencey)
1/2 cup mung beans
1 Tsp Curry (or to taste)
1 Tsp Cumin (or to taste)
1/2 Tsp Turmeric
Salt to taste
3 cups water (less for thicker, more for soupier...I like it thick and fluffy)

Combine all ingredients in slow cooker. Cook on low overnight or several hours. Recipe can easily be adapted to stove top cooking, cook it like you would brown rice...maybe a little longer. This is a great, wholesome, nourishing one-pot meal. It is good if you are 'cleansing' but not fasting. It is good for ALL constitutional types (Vata, Pitta, Kapha)...though ingredients can be modified allowing for balance of doshic 'derangement' .

Enjoy! All my love! Kim
