During a quick trip to Hawaii, HoneyColomy Founder Maryam Henein met Vegan Chef Todd, who is dedicated to conscious healthy living. He showed her how to make a Kitchari Recipe, a millennium-old Indian tradition that kindles the digestive fires and provides you with all the nutrition you need. And it’s absolutely delicious.

Chop vegetables, and add all ingredients. Return to a boil, cover, turn heat to low, and cook for 20 to 25 minutes. With two minutes to go, add cilantro!
