Kitchari
"Kitchari is a traditional meal in the Ayurveda medicine. Composed of basmati rice and mung dal, it has as many variations as possible, here I made it with lentils instead of mung dal, but you can make it in the traditional way if wanted. It is a quick and easy meal to prepare but also a really digest one."
