Kitchari
Kichari is a simple, easily digested stew that can prepare the body for cleansing. It is also suitable for coming off of a cleanse or any time you want a nutritious, easy to make meal. Here is one type of Kichari:

INGREDIENTS:
1 part brown basmati rice, soaked for at least 1/2 hour and drained
1 part split mung beans, soaked in water for at least 1 hour and drained
1 part veggies (green beans, carrots, spinach, etc.)
6 parts water
Cumin or Coriander seeds
1 medium onion
Fresh ginger, garlic, black pepper and bayleaf

Heat ghee (clarified butter) or olive oil in a pan over moderate heat. Add cumin or coriander seeds. Then add 1 medium onion, finely chopped, chopped ginger and garlic and saute until golden brown. Stir in 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp. of black pepper powder, and 1 bay leaf. Add mung beans, water, vegetables, and rice.

Cook for about an hour. When the beans are completely soft, add a pinch of sea salt. Serve this dish with ghee and chopped fresh coriander leaves.

Ghee (Clarified Butter)
You can often find Ghee in the health food store, or you can make it yourself: Ghee is made by placing unsalted butter in a pan and letting it melt and simmer on very low heat. The butter may look cloudy and there may be foam at the top. In the first five minutes, stir the butter occasionally. Leave the butter to continue simmering for another 15 minutes. You will see the particles sink to the bottom of the pan and foam will settle at the top. As soon as the sediment at the bottom starts to brown, remove the pan from the heat. Skim off and discard the foam. Strain the liquid through a fine sieve or muslin into a glass jar.

Kale with Chick Peas

INGREDIENTS:
2 cups young fresh kale, stemmed, ribbed and cut into thin strips
1/2 cup cooked chick peas (garbanzos)
1/4 tsp cumin seed
1/8 tsp turmeric
1/2 tbsp of olive oil
1/4 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp chopped parsley
pinch of sea salt
quinoa

Steam the kale for 10-12 minutes. Heat the oil in a pan, add the whole cumin and stir briefly to release aroma. Add the kale, turmeric and pinch of sea salt, and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Add chick peas and lemon juice and mix well. Garnish with parsley and serve with quinoa
(Serves 1)
