1 cup lentils -- or mung beans
1 cup rice -- or quinoa
6 cups water -- or vegetable stock
2 cups chopped vegetables
2 Tablespoons minced herbs

One of our favorite dishes is kircharl, which consists of a grain and a
legume cooked together in the same pot with a good amount of water over
medium heat. To create your own, add 1 cup of lentils or mung beans and 1
cup of rice or quinoa to a pot with 6 or more cups of water or vegetable
stock. Add a few cups of chopped vegetables, a few tablespoons of minced
herbs, and salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the grain and legume are
thoroughly cooked. Add more water if necessary as you go. Depending upon
the legume and grain, it may take over 30 minutes to cook. It's so worth
it! Kitchari takes moments of your time to prepare, and a healthy and
balanced meal is your reward.
