Three steps
How It Works
How it works
Rinse or soak
Some kits only need a rinse. Whole chickpeas and black chickpeas cook best after soaking.
How it works
Bloom the spices
Add the spice packet with oil, butter, or ghee, then let the warm aromatics open up.
How it works
Cook and use all week
Serve as a bowl, wrap, taco filling, soup, side dish, or meal prep base.
Oil, butter, or ghee can be used. Ghee is clarified butter.

Questions Before You Cook?
What exactly is in the kit?
A pouch of whole legumes and a pre-measured Indian spice packet. You add water, oil or butter, and optional fresh ingredients.
Is this ready to eat?
No. PranaMix is ready to cook, so you get a fresh hot meal base instead of another packaged prepared meal.
How spicy is it?
Most kits are gentle to medium warmth. Every product page lists a 1 to 5 spice level in plain English.
Do I need an Instant Pot?
No. The kits are Instant Pot friendly, and many can also be cooked with a pressure cooker or stovetop method.
Is this vegan?
The dry kits are vegan-friendly. Final preparation depends on whether you add oil, butter, ghee, or yogurt.
Is this gluten-free?
The core ingredients are naturally gluten-free legumes and spices. Product pages list SKU-specific ingredients.
