Betty’s Palliation Cleanse Kitchari

Kitchari is a well balanced, easily digested, complete food which provides all the nutrients one needs. I ate a mono-diet of kitchari during a palliation cleanse, a gentle purification process, with fresh vegetables and spices added to pacify kapha and vata dosha.

There are many kitchari recipes out there, but I'm enjoying this one. It's a hybrid of several other recipes.

    In another pot, place the spice mixture ingredients in the order listed and simmer for 10 minutes.

    When both have finished cooking, mix together. Serve warm.
