Mung Dal Kitchari
A wonderful easy strength building vegetarian main dish.
I make this as my vegetarian “chicken soup” when I want a warming boost.
You can make variations by adding veggies, etc.
Mung Dal Kitchari by Vasant Lad in Ayuveda Cooking
1 cup basmati rice
1/2 cup yellow split mung dal
3 T Ghee
1 tsp black mustard seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
2 pinches hing (asaf0etida)
1/2 tsp turmeric
1/2 tsp salt
4 cups water
Wash rice and mung dal well. If you have time, let the dal
soak for a few hours before cooking as it helps with
digestibility.
In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the ghee and
add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds and hing. Stir
a moment until seeds pop.
Add rice, mung dal, turmeric and salt and stir untioo well
blended with the spices.
Add the water and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes\
uncovered, stirring occasionally.
Turn down heat to low and cover, leaving the lid slightly
ajar. Cook until tender, about 20-25 minutes.
*This can be eaten by all doshas but is especially good for vata.
** I like to add a bit more water when I add veggies

“Hut” a Stop on Kilauea Peace Day Parade
When the Mayor called upon Kauai to observe international and Hawaii State Peace Day, Kauai Pacific School responded in a big way. Joined by Gary Heu from the Mayor’s office, teachers and parents, Kauai Pacific School students paraded through Kilauea town in celebration of Peace. It was an adorable spectacle rooted in acceptance, compassion and community. The students stopped by Healthy Hut and posted some of their poems on the community bulletin board for all to share. Healthy Hut works toward a continued sponsorship program with Kauai Pacific School.
