I find Kichadi magical. It's the first food given to babies after breast milk to turn babies' digestive system on. It's a safe and health promoting way to cleanse and rebuild your health without deprivation. It's s the Indian version of chicken soup! Kichadi is a primary Ayurvedic meal that has been prescribed for centuries for its many healing properties. It is the food for convalescence and it tastes delicious.

This Fall-Winter dish is suitable for all body types. I like the combination of a leafy green, which grows towards the sun, with a root vegetable which grows underground. Energetically this dish is both energizing and grounding!
