                                Kitchari, a simple dish of rice and mung dal, has been a staple in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. The purpose of kitchari is to provide deep nourishment while simultaneously allowing the digestive system to rest, reset, and detoxify. It is widely used in Ayurvedic cleanses and for recovery from illness.
