Kitchari is Ayurveda’s original comfort food: a gentle, one-pot porridge of split mung dal and basmati rice. Split mung is the lightest and easiest legume to digest. Paired with white basmati, it forms a complete protein that’s soft on the gut and easy for the body to break down and absorb.
That’s why kitchari has been the go-to for centuries when the body needs rest. It’s ideal when you’re feeling under the weather or recovering from illness, during a seasonal cleanse, or anytime digestion needs a break. It lets your system direct its energy toward healing instead of hard work. It’s also simply a cozy, satisfying meal for any day of the week.
Simmer it with water or broth, add a spoonful of ghee and our Kitchari Spice Mix, and top with fresh cilantro or a squeeze of lime.
