Khichadi is a nourishing one-pot dish originating from Indian cuisine, often celebrated for its simplicity and comfort. Made primarily with rice and lentils, it is seasoned with spices like turmeric, cumin, and ginger, and commonly cooked with ghee or oil. Variations may include vegetables such as carrots, peas, or spinach, adding extra nutrients and flavor. Packed with protein from lentils and carbohydrates from rice, Khichadi is a balanced meal that’s easy to digest, making it ideal for all ages or during recovery from illness. The dish is naturally gluten-free and can be adapted for vegan diets by replacing ghee with plant-based oils. While its wholesome ingredients support gut health and provide essential nutrients, the calorie content can increase if excessive ghee or rich garnishes are used. Khichadi is both a comfort food and a nutritious staple, earning its place in kitchens around the world.
