About Kichari
Kichari, a traditional dish from Indian cuisine, is a comforting blend of basmati rice and split mung beans, often seasoned with turmeric, ginger, cumin, and other warming spices. This wholesome dish is revered in Ayurveda for its simplicity and balanced nutrition, often served to aid digestion and detoxification. Mung beans are an excellent source of plant-based protein and fiber, while basmati rice provides easily digestible carbohydrates, making Kichari a complete, nourishing meal. The inclusion of spices like turmeric adds anti-inflammatory properties, while ginger and cumin support gut health. Typically cooked in ghee or coconut oil, it offers healthy fats but may need portion moderation for calorie-sensitive diets. Kichari is naturally gluten-free and can be customized with added vegetables or reduced fat for specific dietary needs. Ideal for cleansing diets or as a soothing dish during illness, Kichari truly embodies the essence of healing food.
