What an interesting recipe! I've never made kitchari before. I bought mung beans for sprouting sprouts, and then I saw this recipe and immediately prepared it. Following the author's advice to add various vegetables, I added artichokes. It turned out very tender, satisfying, aromatic and delicious! Thank you very much for the recipe!
