Since we were in desperate need of a easy to digest meal that would pacify vata (which has been disturbed by 4 days of travel) I made Khichari today. I made it using mung beans and rice. I also added some celery in the mixture. I have to say that not only did it taste phenomenal but my entire physiology felt calmed and soothed. This is a recipe that I can use as a starting point for many delicious calming meals. Miriam says in her book that Khichari is an important Ayurvedic dish to balance all doshas and is served during Panchakarma.
