Easy Kitchari (Instant Pot Friendly!) | Minimalist Baking Recipes
Kitchari (also known as khichuri khichri or khichdi) is a dish with ancient roots in India. As early as 300 BCE an Indian philosopher and statesman named Chanukya wrote about a balanced meal made from rice lentils salt and ghee or oil (source).
Kitchari means “mixture” and the dish is known for having two main ingredients: rice and lentils (often moong dal). And it often includes spices like turmeric ginger and more. In Ayurvedic medicine kitchari is known for aiding in detoxification and balancing the three doshas.
Recipes vary in the herbs used and can be modified to balance your doshas. If you want to learn more about kitchari Ayurveda and doshas dive deeper here.
