Powerful Food from Yogi Bhajan's Kitchen

I cooked this recipe last night, and it is delicious!

Mung Beans and rice recipe
 This is a perfect pre-digested food. It is easy on the digestive system and very nourishing.
Ingredients

1 cup of Mung Beans (they are asian green beans)
1 cup of Basmati rice
9 cups of water
4-6 cups chopped assorted vegetables (carrots, celery, zuchini, broccoli, etc.)
2 onions, chopped
1/3 cup of minced ginger root (grind)
8-10 cloves of garlic, minced
1 heaping tsp. of turmeric
½ tsp. pepper
1 heaping tsp. garam masala
1 tsp. crushed red chiles
1 Tbsp. sweet basil
2 bay leaves
seeds of 5 cardamon pods
salt or soy sauce to taste

Rinse beans and rice, bring water to a boil, add rice and beans and let boil oer a medium flame. Prepare vegetables. Add vegetables to cooking rice and beans. Heat about ½ cup oil in large frying pan. Add onions, garlic and ginger and saute over a midium-high flame until browning. Add spices (not salt or herbs). When nicely done, combine onions with cooking mung beans and rice. You will need to stir often to prevent scorching.
Add herbs. Continue to cook until completely well done over a medium-low flame, stirring often. The consistency should be rich, thick and soup-like. with ingredients barely discernible. Serve with yogurt, or with cheese melted over the top.

I love nuts, so I put sunflower seeds on top instead of cheese.
