Description
India. Remember, Hippocrates said, "Your food should be curative medicine and medicine food", so it accurately reflects the approach of the Hindus to the food. The food, I agree Ayurveda (Ayurveda - science of life, Indian system of healing the body on all levels) not only nourishes the gross body but also the mind and our subtle body. But I'll explain this in more detail at the end, and now prepare Khichdi. Khichdi – a thick soup of rice and shelled Masha, the main dish of Ayurvedic cuisine. It is believed that it is balanced in protein, is suitable to all without exception, and especially for fasting days and in the days of the purifying procedures such as Panchakarma. The dish is good and the fact that the set of spices can vary according to your taste and your Constitution (dosha). In General, Indian cuisine is unthinkable without spices, species translates from Latin as something worthy of admiration. And it is precisely because adding spices, we can change not only taste, but also provide the body the desired therapeutic effect.

Cooking
The main feature of Indian cuisine in cooking - frying spices in oil. Roasting helps to reveal the taste of the spices - releasing essential oils and saturating them in the oil base (ghee or sesame oil). Rule - in hot oil first, fry the whole spices, then ground and fresh, like ginger, garlic, chilli.
Mash the rice and wash in water until the water becomes transparent. Throw in a colander. In a deep thick-walled pan or saucepan, heat oil, put cinnamon, cloves, black mustard seeds, when mustard begins to crackle, add curry leaves and turmeric, stir up.
Add the rice waving, mix, fill with water add salt. Bring to a boil, low down the fire, put the cover on.
It's very simple - Khichdi, 20 – 25 minutes, ready! For fasting days, the dish is eaten as cooked. All other days the dish liberally with lime juice, sprinkle with greens and eat with an Indian "bread" Puri, chapatti, Nana or parade. If you are a believer, he is before he will eat this food, will present the portion on the altar and offer it to God for illumination. This lighted food in India, called prasadam. And most importantly, the kind of food you need to cook with love, prayer and not to taste while cooking, so it first needs to try God.
