For cleansing and an all around solid source of complete plant protein:

This recipe is a loose way to make a great tasting, very healthy, inexpensive complete food. It is vegan, has medicinal qualities and when ingested over long periods of time, can help to elevate the spiritual frequency of the consumer with very little work or effort.

In India it is a staple food. It is that which makes up over 75% of a yogic diet. It is fat free and serves not only the pallet but also the circulatory system, respiratory system, thyroid and feeds the loving heart and calming of the mind.

Try a kichidi cleanse and watch your life change in beautiful abundant ways.

Portions can be adjusted to specific desires and made with less consistency for summer and more volume for winter. Enjoy!

Preparation: Wash hands before touching any ingredients with the intention of releasing any thoughts or energies surrounding anything other than love.

While preparing magical, medicinal kichidi each ingredient and step must be handled with intention, mindfulness and love. Chant mantra consistently while preparing any food meant to be consumed by any living being.

Place into a large pot or rice cooker;

2 parts green or yellow Moong or Toor Dal

1 part white or brown basmati rice

Rinse with fresh water 6 or 7 times until water is clear.

Allow lentils and rice to soak for 2-hours.

(Not necessary but enzymes will not activate completely if time does not allow for soak)

Empty water and add 10 cups fresh filtered water.

Add… (Rani Spices are especially pure and easy to access in any Indian grocery)

Teaspoon ground Mustard

½ Teaspoon granulated Dry Garlic

2 Tablespoons ground Turmeric (Magic)

1-Tablespoon ground Cumin

1 Tablespoon Fenugreek Powder or Seeds (Magic)

Cook covered over high heat until elevated to boil. Reduce heat to medium simmer checking every 40 minutes for water level. When mixture has expanded and water is low add more water to bring finishing solution to that of a loose soup consistency. More water may and should be added if consistency becomes to thick.

Now for the fun part…Read through this before moving forward

Take a very small pot or pan and add a ¼ cup of high quality olive oil or oil of your choice. Heat the oil to frying temperature. The oil is to supplement the lack of fat in the recipe and is great for digestion and the skin.

Next add 1 table spoon Mustard seeds and add it to the hot oil, wait for mustard seeds to start popping.

Next add ½ tablespoon whole cumin seeds to the oil. Note: mustard seeds take longer to release aromatics than do cumin. Be careful with your timing. You do NOT want to burn the spices. Google the word Rasa! Youll feel into it.

Finally you will add a flat tablespoon of Hing (Magic) to the already hot oil solution. This is the alchemy behind this dish. Flood yourself with love and light as you gently take your magical spice mixture and add it to your Kichidi.

Important: be aware that there will be an effect on the Dahl solution when you add your oil mixture. Much like adding freshly cut potato to hot oil. You will need to be ready to mix the hot oil solution into the Kichidi immeditaly upon introducing it to the pot. Oil in one hand and mixing spoon in the other.

I love to add peas, okra, cilantro, fresh dill, diced steamed potato and all sorts of other fresh veggies to the dish after it is finished to add different flavor profiles and textures. When you do, allow the dish to simmer until veggies are at desired texture.

(Secret ingredient) This dish requires by most western pallets, salt for taste. The only salts I use are Bio salt, which cannot be heated. Red Himalayan salt or …smoked sea salt! There, now you know my secret. Start of with one tablespoon and see what your tongue says.

Important… Any finished dish is Jutha before being offered to our guides and teachers. Before serving food, dish a healthy portion into a bowl and offer it to your prayer table including all of the guardian angles, saints and ascended masters.

After you feel your offering is complete re-add the blessed food (Prasad) into the pot, stir, serve and savor.

One love, expand, enrich and get light!
