Kitchari Spice Blend

Kitchari {kich-ah-ree} is the most nourishing, cleansing and delicious dish I know for anytime your body needs a break, a reset or a chance to rest and ground.

A simple dish of spiced lentils and rice hailing from Ayurveda, India's ancient holistic medicine practice, Kitchari could not be easier to prepare or more of a crowd pleaser. I make it once a week in the cooler months for my family and at the Winter Solstice gathering each year.

The ingredients are simple: Short grain brown rice, red lentils, fresh ginger and chiles, all available at any natural grocer. The secret ingredient is this spice blend, or masala, made of 5 healing organic seeds. Experience these tasty & powerful seeds and try kitchari at home!
