Kitchari: What is that anyway?

Kitchari is a stew made of rice, mung beans and spices that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries to detoxify and regenerate the body. The light and digestible combination makes it the perfect meal when you're tired, stressed or suffering from digestive problems.

Kitchari recipe - ingredients for 2 people:

• ½ cup white or whole grain basmati rice

• ½ cup halved mung beans (yellow)

• 1 carrot

• ½ courgette

• 1 tbsp ghee

• ½ tsp Ceylon cinnamon

• ½ tsp turmeric

• ½ tsp cumin (powder or ground seeds)

• ½ tsp coriander (powder or ground seeds)

• Pinch of ginger powder

• Rock salt

• Black pepper

• fresh herbs

Preparation:

1. Wash the mung beans and rice well in hot water. Cook the basmati rice separately and add salt.
