Mung Dal, Coconut & Cilantro Kitchari

(recipe, Carrie Stewart)

Ingredients

1. ⅓ cup Cilantro
2. 2 Tbsp. Ghee
3. ½ tsp. Turmeric
4. 4 cups Water
5. 1 cup Basmati Rice
6. ¼ tsp. Salt (Mineral Salt)
7. ¾ in Ginger (Fresh)
8. ½ cup Mung Bean
9. ⅓ cup Coconut Flakes

Steps

1. Wash the mung dal and rice separately. Soak the mung dal for a few hours if you have the time, then drain. Put the ginger, coconut, cilantro and the ½c water into a food processor and blend until liquefied. Heat the ghee on medium in a large saucepan and add the blended items, turmeric and salt. Stir well and bring to a boil to release the flavor. Next mix in the rice, mung dal and the six cups of water. Return to a boil. Boil, uncovered, for five minutes. Then cover, leaving the lid slightly ajar. Turn down the heat to simmer and cook for 25-30 minutes, until the dal and rice are tender.
