Kitchari is the first vegan food that I have ever cooked. It is a rice and bean dish, like a stew, and is very easily digestible. The base is split yellow mung dal (split peas) and basmati rice. You can add any vegetables to the rice, the suggested vegetables for your dosha type are listed on Ayurveda Institute recipe, which you can access by clicking on the link below.
KITCHARI RECIPE
This dish is particularly nourishing and will not make you feel heavy or bloated. It gives you lots of energy and can help regulate your digestion. (Careful not to consume it for every meal or constipation can result.) The mung dal is one of the most easily digested foods and will leave you feeling great!
I like to add a few shakes of Dr. Braggs Amino Acids (soy sauce substitute) and lots of fresh cilantro on top! The aromas of the spices cooking always fills my house with the most beautiful scents. My family has surprisingly taken to the kitchari very fast and now we usually have some on hand for work and school lunches. It's easy to reheat and doesn't lose any flavor in the fridge!
Kitchari is fun to eat and fun to make and even fun to say.....we can't help but embellish this one at our house, singing, "Kitchari-didgeridoo!!"
