Detox Cereal!

11/21/2013

This a great Indian dish. A cornmeal morning potion that detoxifies and purifies.  This meal was originally described in the Charak as a way of reducing the wages of sin from the night before.  It increases agni.  Agni are the enzymes, or the "fire", that drive all digestion and metabolism in the Hindu medical practice of Ayurveda.   This is also a great recipe to reduce Kapha - if you feel stuffy, heavy-headed or congested, phlegmy or just stagnant... then this is the cereal to clear your head!  It is great with honey.. a must have when eating this as the sweetness balances the spices.  WONDERFUL CEREAL - My favorite - but exotically flavored.  So be ready for it!  Below is my picture of my breakfast this morning:)

Ingredients
  • 2/3 cups dry cornmeal
  • 1/8 tsp Hing (this is an Indian spice similar to garlic - use garlic powder if needed)
  • 1/2 tsp whole cumin seeds (cumin can be strong - so be ready or use a bit less)
  • 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp dry ginger powder
  • 1 tsp Turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 2 cups hot water
  • 2 tsp Sunflower oil (or similar)
  • 2 tsp ghee (this is clarified butter - if you don't have this use 2 tsp additional sunflower oil)
  • 2 tsp honey 


Directions


  • Heat large heavy skillet on low heat for 1 to 2 minutes.  Put in cornmeal and dry roast it for 5 minutes, stirring occsionally.  
  • As you roast it, add all the spices except for the coriander. 
  • Add the oil and ghee, stirring well.  It may not seem like enough at first (when you add the oil & ghee but once you mix it all in it is enough).  
  • Add the coriander, mixing well. 
  • VERY SLOWLY - and be sure to use a long-handled utensil for stirring) add the hot water!  Be care and add it slowly - it can steam up at you. 
  • Stir the cornmeal constantly as you add the water to avoid lumping.  Continue stirring until the cornmeal has a mushy consistency.  
  • Scoop into bowls and top with honey. 


THAT'S IT!
