Kazana Indian Risotto/Khichadi/Kitchari, USDA Certifiied Organic, Wheat free, Vegeterain, easy to cook

This product was terrible. I usually can find something positive about any food item but this was by far the worst tasting product I have purchased.

I really liked this rice dish and I will be buying more. I like to cook as healthy as I can and this makes a reasonably quick meal at the same time a healthy one. My son enjoyed it too! He's a little picky eater but he loves rice. I spruced the dish up a little with some sautéed onions & mixed veggies. So basically I made the Khichdi with the spice mix provided and as directed on the packet and on the side I just sautéed some crushed garlic, asparagus, carrots, peas, onions, salt and pepper in olive oil and then mixed it with the rice dish. Garnished with cilantro. It was actually very delicious flavor. A complete dish to eat by itself. When I was making the Khichdi I did make sure it was on the smoother/creamier side like a risotto so I added a little extra water while cooking and just watched it carefully. If it started to dry up I just kept adding little water at a time and stirred it until it was cooked and I was happy with the consistency of the dish. BTW, I looked up online on how others have cooked this traditional Indian dish and that's where I got all the cooking suggestions from. I also read online that ghee - clarified butter and plain yogurt taste good with it. I didn't have any but next time I'll give it a try. Anyway, this was a delicious. I highly recommend it and use your imagination to make it work for you!

I love this flavorful, tasty and nutritious dish very much. I also love it because it provides me with protein without additional cholesterol or fats that we normally get from other protein-rich diets. It is a great side dish replacing plain rice, pasta or Italian risotto, since it is much more tasteful. It is also a meal by itself when eaten with any veggies added as suggested on the package during the cooking process. In the beginning I started adding only ½ of the spices included in a separate package to make it mildly spicy until I got used to the spices. Mixing it with plain fat free yoghurt makes it really so delicious that even the kids have started eating it regularly. The cleansing properties of this dish helps regulate the digestive system. It is very light and yet filling. From my Indian friends I have learned that khichadi is a popular comfort food cooked several times a week at home throughout that entire country. It is even often eaten when one is feeling sick or is overcome with a bout of illness as it is light, easy on stomach and nutritious. Since it is very difficult to find all the organic ingredients of this recipe in our retail stores, this Komal Herbal product becomes a very unique one that I highly recommend for those who are health conscious.

Was gross

Strong lemon scent- but not in a good way. It was like Thera-flu porridge. Can’t believe it was $10. And it took way longer to cook than stated. Never again.

No.It is not ready to eat

This is a great product! I heard about Khitchadi last month on the Dr. Oz show and have already tried a couple of other brands as it is great for cleansing. All of the brands I have previously tried had no flavor and were difficult to cook. The Kazana brand was easy to cook and required very little effort. Even though I only used ¾ of the spice bag this turned out delicious! My wife added a little salt and we found that it really accentuated the flavor of the spices. Now that we have a fast and easy method of preparing an absolutely delicious khitchadi this will be our regular diet.
