Currently, my friends, this is my favorite dish!
It's warm, nourishing, packed with so many beautiful colors and nutrients.
Each ingredient is anti-inflammatory, fully of antioxidants, and created by Mother Nature herself.
It's not the easiest dish to make, BUT, it's worth every ounce of effort! I make a huge batch and will eat it for days and days.
I recently created this for the most amazing retreat I attended, and the attendees LOVED it! It's perfect to make for lots of people, or just to hoard it all yourself.

I LOVE this dish… It truly is healing.
I first tried this recipe on a yoga retreat. My beautiful step-mother-in-law created it for dinner one evening and I was hooked!
I LOVED how delicious and nurturing the dish felt. The smell, texture, and brightness of the spices lures any human, who is pulled to healing, right in.
Kitchari (kitch-a-ree) is a healing soup that is gently formulated with mung beans and rice along with other ingredients to restore proper nutrition back into the body. The soup itself is meant to calm the intestinal track and relight the ‘angi,’ or fire, in the belly.
