Moong dal khichari for Vata doshaOne cup of basmati rice
Half cup of yellow split mung dal
Three tablepoonful of ghee
One teaspoonful of black mustard seeds
One teaspoonful of cumin seeds
Half teaspoonful of turmeric
Two pinches of asafetida
Half teaspoonful of salt
Four cups of water
Method of Khichari
Wash the rice and the moong dal. It is better to soak the moong dal few hours before cooking it as it becomes easier to digest. For cooking khichari it is better to use a cooker or saucepan. The food should be cooked in medium heat. First ghee is heated and mustard seeds are added with cumin and hing. After a few moments, the seeds start popping. Add the moong dal, rice, turmeric and salt and stir for five minutes till it is well blended.

After this water should be added and it should be made to boil for five minutes, uncovered and stir it occasionally. The flame should be lowered and the cooker or saucepan should be covered leaving the lid slightly open. It should be cooked this way fro nearly half an hour.

Although this recipe is good for all doshas, it is especially beneficial for Vata dosha.
