Kitchari is an easy-to-make beloved Indian dish that brings all the best spices together in a fragrant bowl of comfort. It’s delicious and filling, and is also known as a detoxifying dish that aids in digestion in Ayurvedic medicine. If your spices are ground and not whole, that works well, too.

6 cups water
