Warm Lentil Stew (Kitchari)

2 cups of lentils

1 cauliflower, chopped

1 cup of carrots, chopped

1 cup of cilantro, chopped

1 tablespoon of minced ginger

Salt

Cumin

Mild curry powder

Black and red pepper (optional)

2 tablespoons of olive oil

Boiling water, a little more than convering the tops of veggies

Sauté the vegetables shortly in olive oil. Add the rest of the ingredients and cook until everything is soft. Eat as a stew or over rice. 

You can also add 1 cup of rice at the beginning. If you do, make sure to add 2 more cups of water. 

This is a really soothing and warming recipe, inspired by the Ayurvedic dish Kitchari. 

Enjoy!
