Kitchari is a delicious stew of basmati rice and husked split mung beans. It is cooked like oatmeal along with salt and Indian spices. It is easy to digest and it is traditionally consumed when someone is sick or is recovering from an illness.
Kitchari is a delicious stew of basmati rice and husked split mung beans that has been a staple in South East Asian cuisine for years. It is easy to cook, easy to digest, and is an excellent option when someone is sick or recovering from an illness.
Our kitchari is created using the freshest ingredients for superior taste. When you buy kitchari online at Pure Indian Foods, you know you’re getting an authentic product that will pair beautifully with our ghee.
Kitchari is cooked like oatmeal with salt and Indian spices added for additional flavor. Fresh vegetables like potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, and peas can also be added to khichadi during cooking. It is often served with ghee (clarified butter), pickles, and other condiments and is considered a complete meal, especially for vegetarians.Commonly used spices include:
Prepare the kitchari by rinsing in a colander. Then, in a heavy-bottomed stockpot, melt the ghee. Add the washed kitchari and sauté for a couple minutes. Then, add the water, along with the turmeric. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, and simmer partly covered for approximately 20 minutes or until it reaches the consistency of a stew. Add more water if needed. Stir occasionally. Pour in bowls and serve hot. Garnish with ghee and cilantro leaves.
Best Accompaniments: Ghee, yogurt, coconut flakes, fresh cilantro leaves, Indian pickle, pappadam, cilantro/mint chutney.

Mild Tasting
This is a fairly mild mix for Kitchadi. It cooks down to a oatmeal-like goop. Easy to digest, especially with the spice mix.

Excellent Taste and Texture
I have been making kichari for a couple of years now, and i really like it for it's variety of flavors depending on the recipe. This blend is excellent, My first pot was perhaps the best kichari I have had.

Kitchari comfort
The Kitchari I ordered through you is the best comfort food, with or without spice... Even my 16 year old picky eater daughter likes it.

I have nostalgic remembrances of kitcheri from my time at Amma's ashram in India, and remember it being touted as one of the most nutritious and healing foods for folks undergoing ayurvedic treatments there. It's something I'm hoping to add into my diet as a staple.

Second Kitchitari
This was my second order of Kitchitari. It’s so comforting to eat, my family asks me to make this dish several times a week. Will be ordering more.

Kitchari without fuss
I have made other blends of dahl before, but this blend of rice and dahl is satisfying. I have stirred in honey to make it a good breakfast, and the ease of preparation makes it a good quick meal any time.

They keep well. Amazing that the mung beans and the basmati rice don't separate. All you need to add is some turmeric for a bright yellow color to make yourself think you have added a load of ghee to it.

I think this is magic. Using this with the Kitchari Spice mix helped me recover faster from the flu.
