Organic Kitchari Klassik by MAHARISHI AYURVEDA is a dry rice-and-legume mix based on organic basmati rice and organic mung beans, prepared with water to create a traditional Ayurvedic dish known as kitchari.
The format suits anyone looking for a ready-to-cook base for a warm lunch or dinner, including those following an Ayurvedic-style or vegetarian diet.
The main components of this mix are organic basmati rice and organic mung beans, which together make up the bulk of the recipe. Basmati rice is a long-grain rice traditionally used as the base of kitchari, while mung beans are a small legume commonly paired with rice in Ayurvedic cooking for a balanced, plant-based meal. The mix is rounded out with a small proportion of turmeric, cumin, ginger, coriander, and pipali (long pepper), spices traditionally used in Ayurvedic recipes to season rice-and-legume dishes. No animal-derived ingredients are listed on the label.
To prepare, the dry mix is cooked in water until the rice and mung beans soften into a thick, porridge-like or soup-like consistency, following the quantities indicated on the packaging. It is intended to be served warm as a main dish, for example at lunch or dinner.
Ingredients: Basmati rice 63.4%, mung beans 32.1%, coriander leaves 0.8%, turmeric 0.8%, cumin 0.8%, pipali (long pepper) 0.8%, ginger, coriander 0.4%
