Description
Ayurvedic Food for Kitchari & Cleansing 1 cup basmati rice ½ cup yellow mung dal 3 teaspoons Kitchari Spice Mix 2 tablespoons ghee 6 cups water 1-2 cups chopped vegetables (optional)
This delicate and nutritious dal is an essential ingredient in the traditional Ayurvedic dish-kitchari (recipe below).
Kitchari Ingredients:
Preparation:
Wash rice and mung dal and soak overnight. Drain soak water.
In a medium saucepan warm the ghee. Add the Kitchari Spice Mix and sauté for one to two minutes. Add rice and mung beans and sauté for another couple of minutes. Then add 6 cups of water and bring to a boil. Once the kitchari has come to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until it is tender (approx. 30-45 minutes). If you are adding vegetables to your kitchari, add the longer cooking vegetables, such as carrots and beets, halfway through the cooking. Add the vegetables that cook faster, such as leafy greens, near the end. Add more water if needed. Typically, kitchari is the consistency of a vegetable stew as opposed to a broth. Garnish with fresh cilantro and add salt to taste (optional).

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is yellow mung dal and how is it different from other lentils? A: Yellow mung dal, also known as moong dal, is made from whole mung beans that have been hulled and split. This process results in a delicate, lentil-like legume that is nutritious, easy to digest, and quick to cook. Unlike other lentils, yellow mung dal is particularly valued in Ayurvedic cuisine for its cleansing properties and is often used in kitchari.
- Q: How can I prepare yellow mung dal for cooking? A: To prepare yellow mung dal, rinse the dal under cold water and soak it overnight for better digestion and quicker cooking. After soaking, drain the water and cook it with basmati rice, spices, and vegetables if desired. The traditional kitchari recipe includes sautéing the dal with ghee and spices before adding water and cooking until tender.
- Q: Is yellow mung dal suitable for vegan and gluten-free diets? A: Yes, yellow mung dal is an excellent choice for both vegan and gluten-free diets. It is made from 100% plant-based ingredients and contains no gluten, making it a nutritious staple for anyone looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
- Q: What are the health benefits of consuming yellow mung dal? A: Yellow mung dal is rich in dietary fiber, protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, making it a highly nutritious food. It supports digestion, promotes heart health, and can aid in detoxification, particularly when incorporated into cleansing diets like kitchari.
- Q: How should I store yellow mung dal to maintain its freshness? A: To maintain the freshness of yellow mung dal, store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage can help extend its shelf life and preserve its nutritional quality.
