Welcome to my Kitchen!!! During this time of Quarantine, I am leading some Resiliency Sessions, where I bring you right into my home, so you can roll up your sleeves and get busy making some of the Renewal Recipes I find myself regularly talking about in my teachings. In the video above you will learn about the Simple Sattvic foods that I have been reaching for, over the years, to feel light and to attain and sustain balanced, radiant health. Food can be medicine and medicine can be food. Your nutritional portfolio is literally your first line of defense, when it comes to building blood and creating robust immunity, bite by bite, by and by, you become what you eat over time. If consumed regularly, these foods will help support your mind, refine your sensory system, soothe and strengthen your digestive fires, and make the tissues of your body more conducive for contentment. I encourage you to try these simple foods for fulfillment: for yourself, your family, and for whomever else you may be sheltering with at the moment. They are easy to make, inexpensive, easy to store back, and definitively high octane. Enjoy!!!
KITCHARI
INGREDIENTS:
– 2 cups yellow mung dal
– 1 cup white basmati rice
– 2 Tbsp. ghee
– 6 cups water
– 2 tsp. brown mustard seeds
– 3 tsp. turmeric
– 1.5 tsp. sea salt
– 3 tsp. cumin
– 2.5 tsp. ginger ( powder or fresh grated )
– 2 tsp. asafoetida
– 2 tsp. fenugreek
DIRECTIONS:
rinse and soak the dal for 1-3 hours – add rice & water, bring to a boil, add spices, then simmer for 50 minutes on low. I like to add a bit of ghee straight into the serving bowl, so its good medicine is fully available. Kitchari can be enjoyed for all three meals of the day, it pairs beautifully in the morning with a bit of shredded coconut, and a touch of dried fruit, and for lunch & dinner it is amazing with steamed vegetables. Enjoy this high octane nourishment!
