Created in collaboration with Burlap & Barrel, our Tomato Kitchari brings a delicious twist to a classic comfort food. 

It is tangy, warming and gently spiced, with the bright acidity of Sun-dried Tomato Powder balanced by the bold depth of Smoked Black Cardamom. It cooks into a rich, satisfying bowl of rice and lentils with a cozy, savory-sweet flavor that’s endlessly customizable. Add vegetables, leafy greens or a spoonful of yogurt, and you’ve got a complete meal in one pot.

  • Masoor Daal: Red lentils are a quick-cooking lentil with a mild, subtly sweet flavor.
  • Basmati Rice: Basmati rice is a long-grain, aromatic rice native to South Asia, known for its delicate fragrance, fluffy texture, and distinctive nutty flavor.
  • Sun Dried Tomato Powder:   Grown across Turkey's Aegean Sea coastline, adds a rich, savory, umami tanginess to anything it touches.
  • Smoky Black Cardamom: Smoky, complex, and bold.

KEY INGREDIENTS
WHY WE LOVE IT

RED LENTILS

These are tiny, reddish-orange legumes that cook quickly, making them perfect for an easy, healthy dinner. The flavor is mild, earthy, and slightly sweet.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO POWDER

Adds a bump of rich, savory, umami tanginess to anything it touches.

SMOKED BLACK CARDAMOM

Smoky, complex, herbal, resinous and bold.
  • High in antioxidants.
  • Rich in B vitamins, magnesium, iron, and zinc.
  • Low glycemic index and can aid in lowering glucose levels.
  • Significantly lower carbon footprint than animal protein sources.

INSTRUCTIONS

1
Pour Paro Packet and 3 cups of water in a medium-sized pan.
2
Boil and cook for 20-25 minutes of cooking until lentils are tender.
3
Add more water for a soup-y texture. Add a pinch of salt. Stir and serve.

paro TIP

Add fresh lemon juice, garlic or cilantro. Add a dollop of yogurt to tone down the spice but we like to eat ours with one tablespoon of the Paro Tarka.

    Everyone in my family loves this!!

    My husband made this and everyone including my two picky kids (4 and 7) loved it and asked for seconds. We love the acidity with the tomato, and the dish is flavorful, and filling, and a great base with other ingredients but also serves as a standalone in a pinch with enough protein and the rest. So glad we found Paro!

    Everything I want in kitchari and more

    I could eat this kitchari every day LOL. Maybe not every day, but this flavor is perfect. It’s not too overwhelming or mild - the perfect tangy sweetness. I eat it with eggs, sour cream, broccoli, any leftover veggies. Deeeelicious
