Personal Notes:
This is another ayurvedic recipe designed to balance all doshas (types). Khichari is an Ayurvedic wonderfood. Both purifying and rejuvenative, it is excellent for correcting digestive disturbances, and can be used as mono-diet during a purification program without creating the weakness and spaciness possible during a lighter fast. This recipe came to me from the Grass Valley healing center and Jacob Griscom.
