In ayurveda, moong is one lentil that is recommended for balancing all three doshas (kapha, pitta & vata). Even plain mung dal khichdi sans any seasoning or spices is consumed as part of a detox diet.

In this moong dal khichdi, onions & tomatoes are added and thats how I make a simple basic khichdi at home on regular days.

Moong beans are healthy and easy to digest. So when your stomach is upset then it is best to have khichdi. It can also be served to small babies, since it is easy to digest.

How to make khichdi recipe

1. rinse and wash ½ cup moong lentils and ½ cup rice together very well. soak both of them together for 30 minutes in water. Then drain and keep aside.
