Kitchari:

(This is how much I used, but it made, like, 6 or 8 very large servings)

2 c brown rice, soaked overnight

2.c mung beans, soaked overnight

2 sweet potatoes

1 head cauliflower

1 inch fresh ginger

1 onion

4 cloves garlic

4 Tbsp dried coconut

1 Tbsp fenugreek seeds

1 Tbsp cumin seeds

2 tsp tumeric

1/4 tsp aseofotida

1 Tbsp cumin powder

black pepper

pinch cloves, ground

pinch ginger, ground

1 cup chopped cilantro leaves for garnish

Lots of water. Lots and lots of water.

Saute onions and garlic, then add ginger, then add spices, then add rice and beans, after 30 or so minutes, add the coconut and potato and cauliflower. When it's done, stir in cilantro.

He loved everything.

It was delicious. We ate so much that we opted out of our late night dessert smoothie. Probably for the better!

He swears he's lost weight already (he doesn't need to, but hey). Also, he said that he hasn't felt bloated in the whole 24 hours that he's been vegan : ) In bed tonight he even said that his teeth feel cleaner.
