• Ingredients

• 1 cup moong dal

• 1 cup rice

• 1 tbsp salt

• Pinch turmeric

• 1 tbsp coconut oil or ghee

• 4-6 cloves

• 4-6 cups water

Directions:

1. Put everything in a pot - Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer the kitchari for about 20 minutes. After 15 minutes of cooking, check to see if there are still enough liquids in the pot. If you notice that the liquids are completely absorbed by the rice and beans, add 1/2 to 1 cup of water and stir to incorporate.

2. Remove the lid and check to see if the rice is tender. If the kitchari is looking too runny, let it simmer, uncovered, for a few more minutes. If the kitchari is too thick, turn off the heat and add 1/2 to 1 cup of water and stir. Taste and see if you need to add a small pinch of salt.
