Happy Tuesday! Hope Whitsun has been nice and relaxing. It has been in full swing here with the vegetarian festival, which is just as nice to be at every year! If you didn't make it this year, we bet you can join us next year :) Today I'm sharing a new vegetarian dish, which is to everyone's taste here at home, despite the fact that I'm the only vegetarian. Hope you'll try it!
KHICHDI is a healthy, filling and delicious Ayurvedic dish that provides complete coverage of protein and amino acids due to the combination of lentils and beans. It is very light on the stomach and especially good after motion sickness, fever etc. where the digestive system needs to get going. Ayur means life and ved means knowledge, so it means knowledge about life. A urinary treatment method based on herbs, spices and oils.
KHICHDI
2 tablespoons ghee
5 cm cinnamon stick
2 bay leaves
5 cloves
1 black cardamom
200 gr mung beans, split
150 g rice
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons ghee
2 teaspoons cumin
1 tsp garam masala
1.3-1.4 liters of water
Procedure :
- Rinse the rice and beans, open the cardamom pod. Heat 2 tablespoons of ghee, add the cinnamon stick, bay leaf, cloves, rice, beans, water and salt. Let everything cook until it has a porridge consistency. If you have a pressure cooker, it will take barely 10-15 minutes. in a regular pot, 30-40 minutes depending on how strong the heat is and what kind of pot you use.
- Heat ghee, add cumin. Let it fry for 30 seconds and pour over khichdi. Finish with garam masala. Enjoy in a soup bowl with a dollop of ghee and a good chili pickle

- The whole spices that are cooked until the dish is ready can be removed before serving. Babies and children can also start with this as a simple meal. Good luck! Have a nice day ahead :)
