Enjoy!<br \/>\n*Cook times may vary in higher altitudes.\u00a0 If longer cooking time is necessary, you may need additional 1-2 cups water.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I love this film: Jiro Dreams of Sushi. Quality, Originality, and Consistency. These are attributes that this sushi master shares. It so soooooo delightful.<\/p>\n<p>I think if i just ate kitchari and Jiro&#8217;s sushi for a few days everything would be right as rain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Super Simple Kitchari Recipe: Ingredients: 1 cup basmati rice \u00bd cup split yellow mung dal 6 cups water 1 Tbs ghee 1 Tbs\u00a0Kitchari Spice Mix: For my kitchari spice mix:\u00a0 1 T turmeric, 1 T fenugreek, 1 T cumin seeds, 1 T coriander, 1 T hing (asafoetida), 1 T Sea Salt You can also substitute &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/arichproduction.com\/blog\/2013\/04\/powerful-and-delicious-spring-cleanse-without-cleansing\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Kitchari, A Powerful and Delicious Spring Cleanse without cleansing!&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[43,1],"tags":[17,31,37],"class_list":["post-2202","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-health-and-beauty-2","category-posts","tag-health-and-beauty","tag-lifestyle","tag-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/arichproduction.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2202","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/arichproduction.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/arichproduction.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arichproduction.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arichproduction.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2202"}],"version-history":[{"count":14,"href":"https:\/\/arichproduction.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2202\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3576,"href":"https:\/\/arichproduction.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2202\/revisions\/3576"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/arichproduction.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arichproduction.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2202"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arichproduction.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
