Healing fresh green breakfast soup with coconut and spices

The way to a happy tummy, skin, eyes and body with a power packed bowl of goodness! Try this Ayurvedic green porridge of fresh greens, coconut milk, red rice and turmeric for breakfast or lunch..

The bitter greens balance out any internal heat and inflammation (not to mention chlorophyll in general being detoxifying, improving digestive health and oxidation), the coconut milk is nourishing and strengthening to the body, and the wonder spice turmeric is anti inflammatory, antioxidant, lowers risk of heart disease and improves brain function.

Traditionally enjoyed in Sri Lanka as ‘kola kande’. I’ve had lots of requests to share this recipe.. so here it is, below!

  • 1 tsp ghee

  • 2 cloves garlic

  • 1 cup water

  • Rock salt to taste

  • 1 tsp turmeric powder

  • 1/4 cup coconut milk

  • 1/2 cup pr-boiled red or brown rice

Method:

  • Blend greens to make a puree

  • Heat saucepan add half tsp ghee, and when heated add garlic, turmeric, peppercorns and spinach puree along with a little water to emulsify 

  • Add rock salt to taste

  • Stir through until it starts to bubble 

  • Add more water to make it 'soupy' to your taste and coconut milk and bring to the boil

  • When it is at boiling point add pre boiled brown or red rice for texture and taste
