Frequently asked questions
What is The Dancing Elephant?
We are a wellness-forward food brand founded in 2018 by Chandni and Saira, based in New York. We specialize in Ayurvedic-inspired, ready-to-cook kitchari meals - a soothing blend of grains, lentils, spices, and vegetables that you simply add water and simmer for 20 minutes
What flavors are available?
We currently offer three thoughtfully curated blends:
Spinach Shakti
Butternut Karma
Peas Prana
What does “Upgraded Rice” mean?
“Upgraded Rice” is our modern spin on Indian kitchari—a time-honored Ayurvedic comfort food made from rice, lentils, and spices. For centuries, kitchari has been known as a cleansing, balancing, and nourishing dish, easy on digestion but packed with nutrients.
Unlike plain rice, which mainly delivers carbs, Upgraded Rice combines rice with plant protein, fiber, and Ayurvedic spices to create a complete, wholesome meal in just 20 minutes.
Are the products vegan and gluten-free?
Yes! All kitchari blends are 100% plant-based (vegan) and gluten-free, crafted to deliver high protein and gut-friendly fiber.
How do I cook it?
Simply add water to your pouch and simmer for around 20 minutes - no extra spices, grains, or preparation required. It’s comfort food made effortless.

How is The Dancing Elephant rooted in Ayurveda?
In the world of Ayurveda, the essence of good health lies in the freshness and balance of what we consume. This wisdom, passed down from our beloved grandma's, is the guiding principle behind our mission.
At The Dancing Elephant, we strive to bring you the wholesome goodness of balanced pre-mix meals that are as easy to prepare as they are nourishing. Ready to cook and eat in approx. 15 minutes, our meals offer a healthier, more wholesome alternative. A warm bowl of our kitchari is not just a meal; it's a complete nutritional experience that can serve as a satisfying snack or a flavorful side dish to complement a healthy protein like fish or chicken.
Moreover, our kitchari is not only a high-protein, complete vegan meal but also serves as a great source of vegan starch for those seeking a balanced and nutritious dietary option.
