Ingredients

    1 cup mung beans
    1 cup basmati rice
    9 cups water
    4-6 cups chopped assorted vegetables (carrots, celery, zucchini, broccoli, etc.)
    ½ medium onion, chopped
    1/3 cup minced ginger root (peeled)
    2 cloves garlic
    1 heaping tsp. turmeric
    ½ tsp. pepper
    1 heaping tsp. garam masala
    1 tsp. crushed red chiles
    1 Tbsp. sweet basil
    2 bay leaves
    seeds of 5 cardamon pods
    Bragg's liquid aminos to taste*

Directions

Rinse beans and rice.

Bring water to a boil, add rice and beans and let boil over a medium flame.

Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables and add to the cooking rice and beans.

Heat ˜ 1/4 cup oil (olive oil or ghee (clarified butter)) in a large frying pan. To this, add the onion, garlic, and ginger, and aute over a medium-high flame until they begin to brown. Add the turmeric, pepper, garam masala, and red chiles. When nicely done, add this mixture to the cooking mung beans, rice, and vegetables.

Stir the pot often to prevent scorching. Add the herbs and continue to cook until completely well done over a medium-low flame. The consistency should be rich, thick, and stew-like, with ingredients barely discernible. The mung beans should be split open and soft.
