1. 1 cup basmati rice (preferrably split; for me, I avoid iron filings "fortified" into my rice, so only organic rice with no iron filings.) 1/2 cup split green mung dal (or yellow mung dal) Mix and let soak for 30 minutes. 2. In pan, add one tbs. of ghee. No temperature guidance provided. Need to guess based on ghee melting time. I'd say a light saute temperature. 3. Add mustard seed once ghee is warm (skip if Pitta); cover and let seeds crackle 4. Add one tsp of cumin seeds, add grated garlic, add grated ginger, stir a little. Add a little more ghee if you think it needs it. Add vegetables and saute for a few minutes. 5. Add black pepper; add in the soaked rice and dal; add 1/2 tsp tumeric powder; add 1/2 tsp of coriander powder; add Himalayan pink salt to taste (I only add pure NaCl and/or KCL, ie, Morton's Canning and Pickling Salt (MC&PS) or pure potassium chloride from BulkSupplements. They have mineral electrons and none of the toxins that come with the natural salts. Dr. Hal Huggins observed better healing with the MC&PS. I get organic minerals from quality shilajit); optional -- 1/2 tsp of chili powder; add 1.5 times the volume of the ingredients in water (I used distilled water); cover and cook 20 minutes, mixing regularly 6. Kitchdi is ready when all the water is absorbed 7. Enjoy it warm Notes: 1. Traditionally, Ayurvedic kitchdi is only rice and mung dal with ghee and spices. It is used for about three days to detox and strengthen the digestive fire. 2. Make the rice and dal portions equal for an evening meal. 3. Option: To make a one pot single meal, add the vegetables of your choice. 4. Looks like tomato, carrot, onion, garlic, ginger, peas, egg plant, potato, cabbage, and lime to me, but I could be wrong. Skip onion and garlic if you are Pitta. ... I would add that this is a higher glycemic dish. This means it elevates glucose in the blood stream, which elevates insulin, which can be pro-inflammatory and pro fat accumulation. Since eat according to anti-inflammatory principles, I will eat smaller portions of this coupled with some type of protein source. Another approach is to eat smaller portions of this over a more extended time... maybe eat a smaller portion every 60-90 minutes is an option.
Thanks for sharing! Any plans to do more ayurvedic recipes? I have a recipe book but I am not familiar with these foods so I have no way of knowing if I am cooking them right.
GREAT recipe but FYI... babies who do not yet have their first molar (which produces the enzyme Ptyalin that breaks down carbohydrates) should NOT have any form of carbohydrate or it can cause digestive problems and chronic illness later in life.
Hello, I've just cooked your beautiful soup and loved it, this will be my next cook, could you write the recipe in the comments like you did for the soup, just so i don't have to keep pausing the video xx

@Gargi...ayurveda does not prohibit Onion and garlic ( unlike Yoga which avoids it completely ) . Ayurveda however recognises these 2 more as medicinal in nature and to be consumed in small quantities rather than as part of your diet. This is what I’ve concluded from lots of information I’ve been trying to learn on Ayurveda. “Ayurveda principles are mostly confused with spirituality and yoga that recommends avoiding both the ingredient as both are believed to distract a person’s focus and attention” ...this was from a TOI article, but most of the ayurvedic sites pretty much say the same thing
Ayurveda does not recommend using basmati rice … and mixing of lentils as in using two or three different dals … how is this then and ayurvedic preparation is beyond me

Thank you for sharing , will surely try it.

Thanks for watching! Cooking is a lot of trial and error ☺️ yes I am planning to share more recipes here

Tasteful and colorful dish!
Thanks 😘
Thank you! I am going to make this tonight. What is it you add right after the carrot? Thanks :)

Please suggest some foods other than rice kichidi during panchakarma(virechana karma)
Vegetable broth /soup no onions / garlic
What is Ayurvedic in this recipe ? How it is different from non-ayurvedic
❤
Absolutely Amazing ..
Thank you ☺️
What veggies r dis
Carrots, onions, aubergine, tomatoes, peas and ginger garlic
Thx
yummy! What time shall I be at your place? haha
Ha ha come over anytime 😉
Kitchari (Khichdi)with onion? I'm sorry but something is not right there, I would recommend hing instead.
Ayurveda doesn’t say that, yoga recommends a satvic diet without onion, garlic meat etc.
It is called KHICHDI not Kitchri.
It's khichdi not kitchri
Ayurvedic khichdi doesn’t allow onion in it. Its not Ayurvedic.
Its not sattvic definitely! Detox khichdi is just rice and dal.
The Ayurvedic Mum yes mam exactly... thats my point! When we say detox... it shouldn’t have onions and all

Women cleaning, washing, cooking, touching food.....food more tasty
Its not khichdi. Its kitchari. Say again.......kitchari kitchari. Kitchari kitchari. Kitchari kitchari. 👍😌.
