Cooking for Health: Kitchari Thursday November 29, 5 – 7 p.m.
Learn to Cook ~ Share a Meal ~ Make Friends ~ Nourish Yourself
What is “kitchari”? This simple dish made from mung beans and rice is an ancient and healthy combination. Ayurveda, a holistic philosophy, suggests eating kitchari at times when the immune system is compromised and for special seasonal ‘cleansing’ purposes. In Ayurveda, kitchari is considered a holy food. One can think of kitchari as the Ayurvedic (and vegetarian!) equivalent to chicken noodle soup. Nourishing for mind, body and soul, it is said kitchari can kick up the metabolism and benefit the immune system.
There are many ways to make kitchari, and we will explore a few of them. If you’re looking for a simple and wholesome meal to prepare for yourself and your family, or interested in learning why and how the practice of Ayurveda uses food for health, then learning how to make kitchari can empower you.
Come and share a meal made with local vegetables and organic ingredients, and learn to make this dish hands-on in the kitchen at Dharma Door Retreat in Underhill. We will discuss Ayurvedic eating practices in relation to health.
