Instant Detox in a Packet

I'm a super big fan of kitchari and it's one of the main things I recommend to my patients because it's the ultimate detox food.


It comes from ancient Indian medicine known as Ayurveda. If you do Ayurveda, you need to eat a mono diet – one fat, one carb, and one protein. That is the essential requirement for your body to go into detox mode.


If your digestion's not great, that's the first step to get yourself back on track. Dancing Elephant is an easy reset in a little packet.

So Soothing to the Gut

I'm one of the Integrative Nutritionists at Cornell and I work one on one with patients on their chronic issues ranging from autoimmune issues to hormonal issues to gut health.


Kitchari is something we use that I tell my patients a lot for gut health because it's so soothing to the gut and easy on the gut.


The lentils + rice together make it a complete protein so it's a wholesome meal for everyone.

Wholesome, Healthy, Convenient

This is a wonderful kitchari dish! It's gut-friendly, it's healthy. It's full of good ingredients and great nutrition.


One of our main health and wellbeing goals for 2025 is to bring in more healthy, wholesome, quick and easy items.


I love Dancing Elephant for that because it's so healthy and convenient (and look at the packaging!) and is filled with wholesome, healthy ingredients.

Hey! We're Chandni & Saira. Founders of Dancing Elephant
Growing up, we had a saying "There's nothing a bowl of Kitchari can't fix." Whether battling a head cold, a sour mood, or the bone-deep fatigue of a busy day, this humble dish always brought us back to center. But who has time to soak lentils, measure spices, and simmer for an hour when you're already depleted?

That's why we created Dancing Elephant.

We've transformed those healing family recipes into meals that fit
your reality. No more choosing between nourishment and convenience. No more sacrificing your health because you're too tired to cook properly. No more feeling guilty about reaching for another quick but empty meal.
We guarantee you’ll love it
We're so confident you'll love the difference these meals make in how you feel that we back every purchase with our 30-day satisfaction guarantee. If our kitchari doesn't become your new comfort food—if it doesn't solve those "too tired to cook but need real nourishment" moments—simply let us know.

What does it taste like? All our flavors are pretty distinct, but they share a base of lentils, rice, and aromatic spices. Think of it like a warm & comforting Indian risotto.
