Ingredients You Need for Kitcheri [Vegan]
How to Prepare Kitcheri [Vegan]
- Soak the rice together with the mung dal for 3 hours (not a must but makes the dish easier digestible). Rinse thoroughly under running water until the water is transparent. Transport to a cooking pan, cover with 3 cups of water and bring to a boil.
- Meanwhile, in another pan, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. Stir in the mustard seeds, onion, garlic, ginger, and cinnamon, and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the broccoli florets and zucchini, and cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the rice and lentils together with the water to the pan with veggies.
- Peel and rasp the turmeric root. Beware, though, that it will color your hands yellow if you don’t use gloves. Alternatively, you can use ground turmeric. Add the turmeric to the pan.
- Add salt, cover with a lid and turn the heat down. Simmer till ready, about 20 minutes.
- Stir in the spinach leaves and put the heat off.
- Let the kitcheri stand for at least 10 minutes before serving for the flavors to blend.
- Serve topped with fresh coriander.
