Ingredients
1/2 cup Mung Beans (I use sprouted mung beans so that I don't need to soak them.)1/2 cup Basmati Rice, dry 3/4 cup, chopped Carrots, raw 1/4 cup, pieces or slices Mushrooms, fresh 1/4 cup, chopped Onions, raw 3/4 cup, chopped Zucchini 6 cup Vegetable Broth 3 tsp Organic ghee (clarified butter)1 tbsp Turmeric, ground 1 tsp Cumin, ground1 tsp Coriander, ground 1 tsp Ginger Root, minced 1/2 tsp Mustard seed, yellow 1 dash Salt 1 dash Pepper, black 1/2 tbsp Lime Juice 4 tsp Cilantro, raw
Wash the split mung beans and basmati rice. If you have time, let it soak for a few hours before cooking. (It will make it easier to digest.)
Heat ghee in a pot and add mustard seeds till they ‘pop', then add additional spices till they release aroma. (30 seconds or so)
Add beans and rice and 2 cups of whatever vegetables you're using.
Mix and blend with spices and ghee.
Add enough water or vegetable stock and bring to a boil for 5 minutes.
Cover and simmer 30-40 minutes. (If you have a pressure cooker, after you blend it all together, cover and bring to pressure (it will hiss) for 1 minute. Turn off heat and wait 1 hour and it will be done to perfection.
Salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with a squeeze of lime and chopped cilantro.
