निर्देश
- Rinse the green lentils and rice thoroughly until the water runs clear.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the rinsed lentils, rice, coconut milk, water, grated ginger, turmeric powder, black pepper, ground coriander, ground cumin, ground cinnamon, and whole cloves. Add the tamarind paste and salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the lentils and rice are tender and the kitchari has reached a porridge-like consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- While the kitchari is simmering, sauté the diced onion, garlic, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper in a separate pan with a little water until slightly softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the chopped cabbage, carrots and beets to the sautéed vegetables and cook for another 3-5 minutes, until tender-crisp.
- Once the kitchari is cooked, gently stir in the sautéed vegetables into the kitchari.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped chives.
