How to Prepare Kitchari [Vegan]
- Heat coconut oil in a medium pot over medium-low heat.
- Add cumin seeds, black mustard seeds, and ginger, and sauté for a couple minutes, until mustard seeds begin to pop. Stir often to keep ginger from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
- Stir in the rice and drained mung beans, and cook for 2 minutes.
- Add water and raise heat to high.
- Bring to a boil, then reduce heat back to medium low, and stir in kombu, turmeric, hing and salt. Cover and cook 25-35 minutes, until rice and mung beans are soft. Stir occasionally as needed to prevent sticking.
- If using fresh veggies, add the heartier veggies (like cauliflower) at the same time as the kombu and spices. Add lighter veggies (like greens) in the last 10 minutes of cooking.
Notes
* If using whole mung beans, soak at least 6-8 hours (overnight is best); for split mung beans, 2-3 hours minimum. Split beans are recommended for cleansing.
