Organic Spices - Kitchari Love by MAHARISHI AYURVEDA is an organic spice blend created for preparing kitchari, the traditional Ayurvedic dish combining basmati rice and legumes. The mix brings together a selection of organic spices in Ayurvedic proportions, simplifying the preparation of this dish at home.
This blend suits anyone who enjoys plant-based cooking or wants to bring traditional Ayurvedic flavours into everyday meals.
The blend is built around a combination of cumin, turmeric, coriander seeds, and fenugreek seeds, alongside mustard seeds, asafoetida, palm sugar, and rock salt. Cumin and coriander are commonly used whole or ground in South Asian cooking, while turmeric contributes its characteristic colour to rice and vegetable dishes. Asafoetida, listed on the label as Ferula asafoetida, is a resin traditionally used in Ayurvedic and Indian cuisine, often added in small quantities to legume-based dishes such as kitchari.
To prepare kitchari, add the spice mix to warmed oil or ghee and sauté briefly before adding rice, legumes, and water according to the recipe. The blend can also be used directly as a seasoning for rice, vegetable, or other dishes, according to taste.
Ingredients: Cumin, mustard seeds, turmeric, palm sugar (Tala sharkara), rock salt, coriander seeds, fenugreek seeds, asafoetida (Ferula asafoetida), chili
