Rice and Lentil Porridge (Healing
Kitchari)
YIELD: 7 CUPS (1.66 L)

chicken noodle soup to an American.

recipe is the simplest stovetop recipe
that I use for days when the kids are

more complex.
1 cup (192 g) dried split and skinned
green lentils (dhuli moong dal), picked
over and washed
1 cup (174 g) white basmati rice,
