Kitcheri, a relatively simple stew of basmati rice and yellow split mung beans, is a staple in Ayurvedic* cooking. It is delicious, easy to digest, nourishing and yet light. It is commonly the primary dish served during cleansing and rejuvenation programs (panchakarma). It is a great choice when you are ill, recovering from an illness, feeling a bit “off” ~ or anytime you just feel like it! Profound healing can occur simply by adding kitcheri to one’s diet on a regular basis. It is suitable for all body types and can be made in an endless number of variations. It is quite affordable, and the ingredients can always be available in your kitchen. Kitcheri can be served by itself or with vegetables, and the consistency may be like a soup or more like a rice dish or casserole, depending on personal preference and one’s digestive capability. * The term "Ayurveda" comes from Sanskrit, where "ayur" means life and "veda" means science or knowledge. Ayurveda takes a holistic view of health, considering the mind, body, and spirit as interconnected.
