Khichari or Khichdi is one of the most well-known dishes of Ayurvedic cuisine, traditional in Indian gastronomy. It is considered a sattvic food – healing, balanced, and detoxifying, suitable for all doshas (vata, pitta, kapha). It is recommended as part of Ayurvedic detoxification programs.

The main ingredients of Khichari are mung beans (easily digestible and rich in protein, they do not cause gas) and basmati rice, which together provide energy to the body.
