This creamy, delicious, grain-free version of an old Indian classic features yellow split mung dal blended with yellow potatoes, vegetables, ghee, and delectable Indian spices. Feel free to use vegetable broth, bone broth, or water, as desired. Pre-soaking the mung dal for 45 minutes to an hour helps to reduce the cooking time and make the kitchari even creamier. This will serve 2-4 people.
This recipe yields chewy, yummy, versatile, easy-to-make bread. The recipe makes 4 large or 6 smaller servings, so double the recipe if desired. We made this with organic, Italian soft wheat flour, however, you can use any flour of choice by gradually adding just enough to from dough. We’ve opted for dried parsley, black seed and some flaky sea salt to garnish, but feel free to experiment with whatever you love.
Sambar is a delicious, super-flavorful South Indian lentil soup made with vegetables and seasonings. It’s typically served with idlis, rice or dosas. There is no one way to make sambar, so feel free to experiment with your choice of veggies, lentils and seasonings. We are keeping it seasonal for summer with zucchini and tomato.
Kitchari is India’s most beloved comfort food; it’s also an important food for healing and supporting good digestion. While traditionally made with basmati rice, it can also be made with other grains. This hearty, delicious kitchari is made with sprouted quinoa, but regular quinoa will do fine.
These delicious, nutritious eggs are great at any meal. Try them with ham, bacon or sausage, or with sprouted whole grain toast, biscuits or muffins. The recipe is enough for one person, and can easily be doubled, tripled, etc.
This simple, nourishing recipe is a different take on an old classic. We made it in our pressure cooker, however you can easily make it on a stove top. Despite the name, buckwheat is not related to wheat. It’s a gluten-free starchy seed that is used like a grain. According to Ayurveda, buckwheat can be enjoyed by each dosha, however, its light, nourishing qualities make it especially good for kapha dosha. This recipe serves 2 people. Be sure to add any additions desired, and remember – kitchari is supposed to be porridge-like in consistency, however you can add less water if you would like it to be thicker.
Here’s a simple, aromatic and delicious recipe you’ll return to often. Feel free to experiment with different kinds of protein, including shrimp, tofu and legumes such as garbanzo beans or lentils.
We call this “double curry” because we use both DIY Balti Curry and Madras Curry (or Keto-In-A-Hurry) simmering sauce. This is a simple, delicious, nourishing meal that pairs perfectly with freshly cooked basmati rice, quinoa, or warm roti/chaptati or naan bread, or any favorite crusty sourdough or whole grain bread.
These muffins are tender, aromatic, healthy and delicious! They’re great with hot chai tea or coffee, fresh, seasonal fruit, yogurt, nut butters and additional ghee for spreading. The recipe makes 12-15 muffins. If you don’t have buttermilk on hand, blend 1/2 cup yogurt with 1/2 cup water to use as a substitute, or add 1 tbsp lemon juice to a measuring cup. Pour in some milk to equal 1 cup. Let it sit for 5 minutes before adding to the recipe.
This is a simple, wonderful tea that can be made with your choice of milk, however, the richer the milk (or nut milk) the creamier and more delicious the tea. If you enjoy dairy products, try this recipe with 6 Tbsp whole milk and 2 Tbsp cream in place of half cup (8 Tbsp) milk. The tea is wonderful hot, but can also be enjoyed cold on a hot summer day.
