Khichari is a traditional food in India made in pretty much every home as a comfort food whether any one is sick at home or came back from a long vacation and want to feel as light as possible from all that junk you ate, or if you can't think of anything to cook Khichari is the answer. There are other lentils you can add in there for more protien or nutrients, upto your taste but I love it and always remind me home. We eat it with KHADHI or Chash(made of yogurt), it completes the dish!!
j mc. Any suggestions for a vegan yogurt? I love almost all the ones I've tried but I am only familiar with flavored/sweetened versions. I am assuming that a plain one would be best with a savory dish.
It's an Indian dish(i am Indian btw😁). Absolutely a beast of a dish for our stomach(saying in a good way) and nutrition content as well💯. Thanks Derek for sharing it with the Simnett world😊
@@zaphodbeeblebrox3797 he mentioned traditionally it's made with ghee. Being that it's a vegan recipe he doesn't use it. It's an animal product. I'm not sure if you're mad cuz he did use it but he didn't. Or you're mad because you think he did but he didn't. Either way he didn't he just mentioned it was traditional. Wow
Yay, I love kitchari 💛 it's so versatile and there are endless possibilities as far as spice and veggie combinations. For anyone looking to make some kitchari, couple tips: usually kitchari doesn't include allium plants like onion or garlic because they can make gas/indigestion worse. That was tough for me because I love alliums. But that's how I learned about the ancient indian spice Asafoetida, or "hing" powder. When cooked, it creates an onion/celery flavor and also has been shown to decrease bloating and gas, so perfect if you're feeling a bit gassy. Some other alterations I make: I toast the spice seeds (usually cumin, mustard, fenugreek, and fennel seeds) in a bit of coconut oil, then once the seeds start popping, I add all the ground spices, then the veggies, broth, mung beans, and rice. Last time I made this, I used potato and zucchini for the veggies and topped with some cilantro and lemon juice🥔🥥🍋💛🥰
Thanks for sharing the tip about allium. I have just made my first. Kitchari and i did not have all the spices available but i used one garlic just for the habbit of it, but intuitive i added a little of lemon juice on it. Looking forward to eat it.
Hi Derek! I am from India and we usually eat khichadi 2-3 times per week at night.. glad that you bring our culture in your channel.. lots of love :) peace. 😄
This is what an Indian family, bless them, fed me when I fell ill with pneumonia. Saved me from the gut wrenching I had from the effects of antibiotics. Great stuff.
Hi Derek, great recipe! Historically khichdi was fed to sick people, since their system is too weak to eat more complex foods.I have a couple pointers straight from the khichdi recipe I've been eating for the part 30+ years. - Add asafoetida, it's good for digestion and aides with upset stomach. - I think you mentioned this in your video that traditionally khichdi is cooked in ghee. If cooking in ghee - you can flash fry cumin, asafoetida, and turmeric with one whole dried red chili for more flavor and aroma. P.S. - Thank you for the amazing videos, I've been vegetarian all my life, but your videos played a key role in putting me on the right path to eat clean and healthier vegetarian meals.
I love rice! I had had chronic candida, hypothyroidism, parasites and had to cut out sugar,dairy, gluten and white starchy foods but brown rice and buckwheat pasta is good for me so i'm happy. I will be eating more plant-based and cut down meat to 1-2 times a week. So i keep learning about these great dishes thank you.
Your digestion video helped me so much. I was basically swallowing my food whole because I was always eating while working or while doing school work or 5 mins before I had to be at my other job... Ridicilous... I've made sure I take the time to chew properly and eat slowly since seeing that video and it took about 3 days to start working well but now I have had my gas reduced by half... This is not a joke, my gf threatened to dump me because she couldn't sleep my gas was so bad. THANK YOU from us both! Love you guys!
This is AMAZING!!! You have no idea how much I love hearing that my channel has helped you. Thanks for sharing, it gives me the motivation I need to make more vids!
Watching this video while browsing menus of restaurants in Palm Springs and I *just* came across Wildest Greens’ “kitchari of the day” so I think that’s what is for dinner tonight. Thank you!! 😍
OMG. I make this every week. So glad you picked it up :) Will definitely tag post on insta the next time I make and tag you :) You can just add some pepper corn and more ginger to get the heat you know :P
I'm so glad you've come into connection with Ayurveda, there is so much gold in this and it is an incredible meal that both allows for augmenting and detoxifying the body. Thank you for sharing!
Used to eat it when I was a kid. My mom used to make it every 2 weeks or so. The best was vigarelli kitchli which is the left over kitchli which my mom roasted over again with spices. Haven’t had it since and I need to learn to cook it myself. Thanks for the video. 👍
Can strongly attest to the deliciousness of this recipe. I've made it like 5 times and you can make a ton of amazing kitchari quickly and cheaply. Thanks!
Wow, never thought I'd see you do a kichari recipe. I spent some years in and out of Hare Krishna asramas, and they prepare this every morning. While living in India, an Ayurvedic doctor told me to eat more meals of kichari to soothe my IBS symptoms. Now I eat it multiple times a week for lunch and/or dinner. It's amazing how well it works!...probably the easiest meal for me to digest.
I will be making this! Your digestion video has helped me so much. I was in the habit of eating big bites, barely chewing and expecting my stomach to do the rest of the work! It's a hard habit to break but at least now I'm aware of of it and how absurd it is to think that I wouldn't have gas and bloating!!! I love your recipes and all the info you research and impart to us. I always keep an eye out for your latest video.
You are totally correct. I should have mentioned this again (I have in many other videos) but I didn't actually see it in many traditional recipes so I wasn't sure if it had something to do with digestion... although black pepper is supposed to aid in digestion. Thanks for the comment.
I made kitchari for my youngest daughter after she moved back it she is not vegan and she LOVES it but likes to call it poop soup cause she says it makes things move along.
I use this all the time. For those with really compromised digestion just use water. Tomatoes and onions (and seasoning/preservatives) often found in pre made broth and can be upset some sensitive stomachs. Be careful with ginger too while usually great for digestion can make some cases of heartburn/GERD worse. Try very small amount in bowl vs pot if you’re not sure (doesn’t sit well you can still eat rest of soup.) Simmer soup on low for as long as possible. 🌱
Greetings from New Zealand 🇳🇿 Brother. I’ve been looking to switch things up in the kitchen & found your full day of eating- planet protein for muscle & all the amazing gains as I also enjoy Calisthenics. So sorry to hear about Coco 💛 bro almost got me going. With that said here goes my new journey. 🙏🏾 Derek, I’m really looking forward to cooking up a storm as I was never interested. 💪🏾😁🤙🏾
Thanks! Yes, there are more natural and nutrient dense foods but the idea here is resting and nurturing the digestive tract with easily assimilated foods.
@@arkang3l80 Wild rice is not so good for people with digestive or stomach issues. Especially for people with acid reflux, ulcer or any other condition.
This recipe rocks! I've made it several times with varying veggies and even used mashed potatoes instead of rice - delicious! My great-nephew loves it too and describes it as only a six-year old boy could. "It kind of looks like poop and maybe even smells a little bit (broccoli in that one), but it is deelicious!"
Omg I’m trying out this recipe! (I’m sick right now 😓)Didn’t even know what kitchari was until you explained it, but it looks so delicious! Thank you for the wonderful video!
aha finally i suggested you khichdi almost one year ago...unfortuntlly u dont notice..btw this very nutrient very healthy option and my favrt.. there are a lot of variation.. love from INDIA
Derek, your videos are just the best. Props to you and Crystal for sharing your lives and your vegan philosophy with the rest of the world; it is so enriching and we are all better for it!
I am from India and it's pronounced as Khichadi here ...I eat this every Sunday and it's the best vegan food which tastes great and takes 10 mins to make & It's the best recipe for Khichadi I ever saw ! It looks tasty too
I learned to make kichuri many years ago from a Hare Krishna practitioner. In Indian dishes, typically when one uses cumin seeds, they are stir fried initially in the pot for a few minutes and then the rest of the ingredients are added. She also added parsley and nuts (cashews). And she used brown rice.
i heard of ayurveda and learned i was a "pitta" and thats part of the reason why i started eating vegetarian, soon after turning vegan when i realised the health benefits. Thanks for this amazing recipie ! i definetly like easy digestable food videos! i have a lot of issues with my gut no matter what im eating. I did feel that mung beans was easier for me, Also edamame for some reason. Really appreciate, this. please more! :)
Love your style and recipes. Thanks a million for this one. Will give it a try with great delight. Appreciate you posting things like this for others who share your acid reflux issues. Well done!
Great recipe!! We Indians love our khichri…there is a small variation in the recipe across regions in India, but it is a very popular food across the country…cheap and easy to make, comforting, healing, and nutritious. Thanks for posting this 😊
I love Kitchari!!! I recently started making it and can’t believe how filling, satisfying, and inexpensive it is. Thanks for sharing this recipe and for encouraging others to try this.
Hey thanks for the reminder it’s a great dish you made. Actually if you fry those spices in 1 tbl coconut oil and add it into the rice once it’s cooked it will have incredible flavour. Lovely and healthy thanks again
All those spices (except ginger) is what I put into the breads I bake. Plus chia seeds and some salt. Now I'm going to try them with your recipe, that will be fun :-).
You are so sweet and I love your channel. I love you said I cant take credit for 5000 year old recepie. I love honest channels. We make khitchri too...but I love trying new versions so trying yours now. I am making it in instapot though... So lazy. Keep up the way you do you content...I like it when people are honest and humble and your recepies are so so so good!!!
So glad you have an oil free version. I usually make this when the seasons change and wanted to make it in time for the Winter Solstice on 12/21/20. I eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner for 3 days to detox my body. Trying to transition to no oil for 2021. Thanks! 😃
I first heard about it from HHV's vid! Then my local vegan private chef made it - simple goodness! I feel like adding cilantro after the cooking, too. :)
I always have a craving for just a few drops of fresh lemon juice when I add the cilantro I hate can't help it it just goes together. I don't need to make it sour I just like that little bit of lemon to brighten it. Lemon and cilantro are best friends but so is lime and other Foods LOL I'm tired goodnight
I believe a little coconut would go very well with it with it taste-wise(even lower in histamines)! Just made your spice mix and added some dried stinging nettle powder as well as blackseeds :-)
I usually soak the rice together w/ the beans for 1-2 hrs then toast the spices & add all the veggies. I add the grains last + 1:8 grain to liquid ratio to make porridge. Overall an awesome recipe, D
It’s interesting to see how other people make kitchari. I learned how to make it at a place where I worked. It was very different from this one. I’ll have to try yours!
Thanks for this wonderful video. I grew up in India eating a slightly different version of khitchri. My Mom used Mung Beans and some of what Indians call "Toor Dal", which is available at all Indian grocery stores in the USA and Canada. In Whole Foods, it is labelled as "Pigeon Peas". And my Mom sauteed onions, fresh ginger, fresh garlic and the spices in a very small amount of Ghee before adding the other ingredients. It sure is a tasty dish. I eat it with side dishes like fresh green beans or with side of steamed brocolli. Traditionally, we had it with a side of spicy fried potatoes. :):)
Love that you immediately corrected yourself when taking the credit for the recipe. That's really respectful and endearing. Khichdi (pronounced Khi-ch-dee) as every Indian told you already, is just a basic Indian recipe. If you want to add fat, heat some ghee at the end, throw in some whole cumin (called tadka in Hindi) wait for it to pop and then pour over the khichdi carefully. Will add some depth to the flavour. If you are interested in healing vegan foods, look up Daliya as well.
Thanks for sharing! If you fry the spices with chilli before adding the rice & beans it will be super flavourful - so you won’t need to add hot sauce at the end 😅
Carrots are beneficial to the gut. The have a soothing & tonifying effect on the digestive system & also the urinary system so definitely a good thing to include. Thankyou for sharing your recipe. Also Mung Beans contain compounds that help to make the blood vessels more flexible & thus reduce blood pressure. I will be trying this. Thankyou.

Try adding a squeeze of lemon before serving. Adds flavour and further helps digest the protein from mung beans

I'm from India - the land of Ayurveda. This is my high protein easy-to-make meal. I throw in ground flax/pumpkin/sunflower seeds. Packs solid protein.

Where do you get this asafoetida spice? Can you find it in a regular store, ethnic isle?
@@natalieklassen9775 in Indian store ask for "Hing"
Can you please tell me what is the correct name of this dish; is it Kitchari or Khichdi?
ohh...surprised..i live in Goa, India..and this dish is very common here..
thank you for your fresh vision of this recepy.
This was recommended by the Ashram I stayed in many years ago. Very tasty!

Love that you immediately corrected yourself when taking the credit for the recipe. That's really respectful and endearing.
Khichdi (pronounced Khi-ch-dee) as every Indian told you already, is just a basic Indian recipe.
If you want to add fat, heat some ghee at the end, throw in some whole cumin (called tadka in Hindi) wait for it to pop and then pour over the khichdi carefully. Will add some depth to the flavour.
If you are interested in healing vegan foods, look up Daliya as well.
Its Khichdi !!! Mate... just loved it 💪💪💪
Woah .. you pronounced khichdi so accurately.. yeah this is what I eat when I have an upset stomach
I grew up eating khichadi everyday 😉
Never heard of it but i will try it
Great video Derek & I miss you too Coco 😻
Your recipes are always the best!!!
Awesome can’t wait to try this. 😊
Awesome!!!
Thanks for sharing! If you fry the spices with chilli before adding the rice & beans it will be super flavourful - so you won’t need to add hot sauce at the end 😅
Great recipe again Derek!! Thanks you. Love to watch a little bit longer..
Looks really good.
Carrots are beneficial to the gut. The have a soothing & tonifying effect on the digestive system & also the urinary system so definitely a good thing to include. Thankyou for sharing your recipe.
Also Mung Beans contain compounds that help to make the blood vessels more flexible & thus reduce blood pressure. I will be trying this. Thankyou.
Thanks Derek,will definitely make this.
The hot sauce dance was the best part!!!
Going to have to give this a go!! Great video!
