About Daal khichdi

Daal Khichdi is a comforting and wholesome dish originating from Indian cuisine, known for its simplicity and nutritional balance. Made with moong dal (split yellow lentils) and rice, it is often seasoned with turmeric, cumin, and ghee, and can include vegetables like carrots, peas, and spinach for added nutrients. This one-pot meal is rich in proteins from the lentils, carbohydrates from the rice, and essential vitamins and minerals from the spices and vegetables. It is light on the digestive system, making it an ideal option for individuals recovering from illness or seeking a gentle yet nourishing dish. While traditionally prepared with ghee, which adds flavor and healthy fats, overuse of fats or excessive salt can reduce its health benefits. High in fiber and low in complex fats when made thoughtfully, Daal Khichdi stands as a nutritious staple in Indian households.
