Kitchari<\/em> is is THE staple food of yogis.\u00a0 Delicious, nutritious, quick to make &\u00a0digest, Kitchari<\/em> is absolutely filling while keeping you light and full of energy.\u00a0 Similar to\u00a0Ven Pongal<\/em> in South India, Kitchari<\/em> is often given away as prasadam<\/em> (blessed food from the Gods) in temples and ashrams due to its sattvic nature.\u00a0 Yellow split mung beans have a very calming effect on the mind and reduces anger, aggression, and agitation. Great for both the body and mind, learning how to make your own Kitchari<\/em> at home will take your yoga and meditation practices to the next level of shanti.\u00a0 <\/em> This particular South Indian inspired Kitchari<\/em> has more of a\u00a0 “crunch” than the traditional recipe<\/i>, as we like to add cashew nuts and whole black peppercorns to give it more texture and elevate it to a “cosmic” status.\u00a0 If you want a more smooth traditional Kitchari<\/em>, simply omit the cashews and use cracked black pepper or powder instead.

The husks of whole green mung beans are more difficult to digest, require a longer cooking time and will produce more gas.

Add the rice and mung beans to a pot, add 4 cups of water, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and cover to cook until it becomes soft and mushy (about 20-30 minutes). While the rice and mung beans are cooking, add the ghee to a pan and heat on medium-high (2-3 minutes).\u00a0 Once the ghee is hot add the mustard and cumin seeds and wait about 1 minute until they begin to pop.\u00a0 Then add the black peppercorns, hing, curry leaves and cashews.\u00a0 Fry together until the cashews are golden brown and the curry leaves have become crispy. Add this mixture to the pot of cooked rice and mung beans along with the salt, turmeric and grated ginger.\u00a0 Mix well until your get a consitency similar to mash potatoes. Place the Kitchari in a bowl and garnish with chopped cilantro leaves. For an authentic South Indian touch, you can pour a few teaspoons of ghee on top of the cooked Kitchari<\/em> once it is served.

The combination of mung dal with rice provides all the essential amino acids needed to form a complete protein.\u00a0 Eaten on their own both rice and dal are missing one or more of the amino acids that our bodies need.\u00a0 Yet, when combined in Kitchari the rice and dal blend perfectly to form a complete protein. The addition of warming spices like ginger, black mustard seeds, cumin, whole black peppercorns, and curry leaves stimulate the gastric juices and make digesting Kitchari quick & easy.\u00a0 The use of split mung dal (rather than the whole green dal beans) makes Kitchari a perfect choice for those with sluggish digestion. Kitchari is a staple in Ayurvedic cleansing.\u00a0 Unlike other types of cleansing methods, Ayurveda typically does not recommend extended periods of fasting using only juices and herbal teas.\u00a0 Instead, a mono-diet of Kitchari\u00a0is recommended to ease the digestive tract, improve digestion, while providing essential nourishment.
