Original Kitchari
Kitchari is a tenant recipe in Ayurveda, what is prescribed to eat during the popular master cleanse: ‘Panchakarma‘. It’s also the perfect way to cleanse your body and bring balance back to your diet if you’re feeling sluggish, sick or have been splurging too much during vacation or over the holidays.
Deliciously simple to make, Kitchari is made from a combination of mung bean lentils, white Sona Masoori rice, and digestive spices that cleanse your digestion tract and restore balance to your body & mind. This dish is a complete plant protein, rich in fiber, and kid friendly too!
