Kitchari (or “khichdi”) is a hearty South Asian porridge—a comfort food akin to chicken noodle soup or a stick-to-your-ribs bowl of oatmeal—of gently stewed rice and husked split mung beans, or gram lentils. Nourishing, filling and easy to prepare, this dry blend from Pure Indian Foods combines ultra-long, delicate basmati rice with high-quality yellow lentils that cook up silky smooth. When cooked, the soft stew is savory-sweet and rich. To prepare, simmer the blend with water until tender; for best results, cook with a pinch of salt and Pure Indian Foods Organic Ground Kitchari Spice Mix, which is a mixture of turmeric, coriander, cumin seed, brown mustard seed, ginger, fenugreek and ajwain seed. Then top with a dollop of ghee.
