Re: [FairfieldLife] kicharee recipe
from Vaidya Robert Svoboda Khichadi - Split Mung Beans and Rice This preparation, a common staple food for many Indians, is also a purifying, balancing diet suitable for almost everyone. It is ideal for those with poor digestion or assimilation because it is easy to digest and also assists in eliminating toxins from the system. 2 cups rice, preferably Indian basmati rice 1 cup split mung beans (called mung dal in Indian grocery stores) 8 to 12 cups water, depending on how liquid you want the final product to be 2 Tbsp. ghee (clarified butter) 1 tsp. ground cumin 1 scant tsp. ground coriander seed 1/4 to 1/2 tsp. turmeric powder 3 to 5 whole cardamom pods 1 to 2 tsp. of powdered ginger pinch salt or powdered kelp pinch asafoetida powder If you are unable to locate an Indian grocery store you can substitute sprouted mung beans for the split variety. Wash off the green seed covers which split when the beans sprout. One part beans to two parts rice is the standard proportion. Those individuals with malfunctioning digestions may choose to reduce the proportion of beans to rice to 1:3, or even less. Those with stronger digestions may increase the proportion to 1:1 if they so desire. Wash the beans and rice and soak them separately in an excess of water for at least an hour. Thereafter discard the soak water, mix the beans and rice together and rinse them with fresh water. Heat gently 2 Tbsp. of ghee. While heating, add the cumin, coriander, turmeric and asafoetida. Saute these spices lightly in the ghee, until they are just browned but before they blacken, and add the mung beans and rice, stirring vigorously for about a minute so that some of the spices will be absorbed. Then add water, ginger, cardamom and salt or kelp, bring to a slow boil, cover, and cook until the individual grains are completely soft. Serve with yogurt for V types and extra ghee for P people. K individuals should use more spices and less water. This amount will serve five or six people. As the digestion improves the amount of spices may be increased, and onion, garlic, daikon radish and other rott vegetables may be added to the mixture before cooking begins.

Re: [FairfieldLife] kicharee recipe
2 cups rice, preferably Indian basmati rice BTW, now that basmati rice can be gotten from sources other than India, these may be a better bet (Texmati rice is an example). The reason is that there is so much DDT damage and other environmental issues in India, a more regulated source is a better idea.
