    1/2 c Moong dahl;

    - overnight
    1 ts Turmeric
    1 ts Mineral salt
    1/4 ts Hing (asafoetida)
    2 Cinnamon sticks -OR-
    1 ts Ground cinnamon
    4 c Cauliflower (1/2 head);
    - chopped
    1 1/2 c Delicata squash (1/2 sm);
    - sliced into half moons
    1 c Carrots; chopped
    4 c Greens; chopped
    1 tb Olive oil
    1 Shallot; chopped
    1 cl Garlic; minced
    Fresh ginger (1"); minced
    2 ts Coriander seeds
    2 ts Fennel seeds
    1 ts Cumin seeds
    2 tb Unsweetened coconut chips or
    - flakes
    1/2 c Fresh cilantro; chopped
    1 Lime or lemon;
    - cut into wedges
    Tahini
    Salt
    Black pepper; freshly ground

    Preparation time: 10 minutes
    Cooking time: 40 minutes

    Strain and rinse your rice and dahl 2 or 3 times until the water runs
    clear. Combine the rice, dahl, turmeric, salt, hing, and cinnamon in a
    large pot with 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low
    simmer and cook, covered, for 20 minutes. Do not stir. Check to see
    if the kitchari is drying out; if it is, add 1 cup of water.

    Add the cauliflower, squash, and carrots to the pot. Stir gently to
    combine, and cover for another 10 minutes. Add the greens for the
    last 10 minutes, give it all a stir to incorporate, then cover to
    wilt the greens. The kitchari should be very soft, like a porridge.

    Meanwhile, make the tarka: Lightly grind the seeds with a mortar and
    pestle. Warm the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat for about
    1 minute. Add the shallot, garlic, ginger, seeds, and coconut, and
    cook on low until they are fragrant, about 5 minutes. Be sure to
    watch the tarka, as spices can burn easily.

    When the kitchari is done, add the tarka and stir well to combine.

    Serve topped with cilantro, a squeeze of lemon or lime juice, tahini,
    or additional salt and pepper, as desired.
