Khichadi (sometimes spelled kitchari, although khichadi is the traditional spelling) is a delicious, comforting, nutritious, and gut-healing food! A variety of seasonal veggies can be added to this satisfying one-pot meal that supports digestive health. 

This is an ancient Ayurvedic dish from India that is full of warming and balancing spices and supports healthy digestion! Vella at Love, Vella utilizes ingredients chosen with the highest level of care, including sustainably-grown spices that support farmers. 

Khichadi kits include split mung beans, basmati rice, and a spice packet (ginger, brown mustard seed, cumin, coriander, turmeric, ajwain, fenugreek, mineral sea salt). All spices are ethically-sourced, organic, non-GMO, and non-irradiated, and have been tested for heavy metals. While we cannot guarantee a gluten free kitchen, all khichadi kit ingredients and spice packs are gluten free.

Kit includes instructions for preparation and here you can watch a full video tutorial explaining what khichadi is and how to prepare it! Khichadi can easily be made in a pot on the stove (a dutch oven works great) or in an Instant Pot or pressure cooker.
