Kitchari - a recipe that can be modified for all three doshas and the seasons

Thermos Flask Lunch

We are really enjoying the Thermos lunch, brought to us through our teacher Matthew at Rennaisance Yoga and Ayurveda in Toronto.

Before be we're soaking rice and beans. In the morning we chop vegetables, heat some oil in a pot and then saute some spices. We add the soaked and drained rice and beans to the spiced oil and toss them. Next we toss the vegetables. Finally the water is added. After boiling for only minutes we transfer this to the thermos. Hours later when we're getting tempted to hit a drive-thru or grab a snack, we reach for the thermos. Hot, freshly cooked lunch is served.

Freshly cooked food is MUCH healthier for you then leftovers of any kind. Cold leftovers straight from the fridge would be the worst possible choice. Instead we have created the choice to eat freshly cooked, healing, cleansing kitchari every lunch and dinner.

Life is Good.
