Khichuri is a simple-to-prepare detoxifying meal that most people can tolerate for at least a few days. It’s a mixture of basmati rice and mung beans.

Ingredients:

• ½ whole mung beans (soaked overnight if possible)
• 1 cup basmati rice
• 1 tbsp clarified butter (ghee)
• ½ tsp ground cumin
• ½ tsp ground fennel
• ½ tsp turmeric
• 1 tsp salt
• 4½ cup water

Instructions:

1. Wash the rice in cool water and combine with the soaked mung beans in a 6 quart pot.
2. Add 4½ cups water. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat and cook until most of the water is absorbed (about 30-40 mins).
3. Melt the clarified butter on low heat in a frying pan and gently roast the spices.
4. Add the spices to the rice and bean mix and continue cooking until the mixture is the consistency of a loose stew.
5. If you desire, you can add chopped vegetables (spinach, zucchini, carrots, and the like) during this last cooking phase.

Enjoy!
