When I was recently in Bali studying meditation and Ayurvedic wellness, one of the common dishes I came across was kitchari. This is a delicious fragrant, vegetarian dish full of immune supportive herbs and spices and freezes really well. The dish can be modified for kids and you can add more chilli if you love spice. Hope you enjoy this recipe!
