made kitchari again today because the first try was such a let down. boiling it for 10 minutes instead of 45 left the vegetables palatable and with texture and the rice soft, the mung dal was slightly firm but in some ways that was a more appealing way of eating it. the entire dish is meant to be soothing, warming and easy on digestion. read: mushy, bland and without much textural variation. all goals of a luminous clean form aside, and in keeping with the mantra that the cleanse should fulfill and the food should taste good, i thought that tweaking the formula to make it soothing and easy to digest as well as good tasting was not too far a deviation from acceptable.
