About Khichdo

Khichdo is a traditional Gujarati dish that combines wholesome ingredients to create a comforting and nutritious one-pot meal. Typically made from cracked wheat, rice, moong dal (split mung beans), ghee, and jaggery, Khichdo is a hearty blend of sweet and savory flavors, often enjoyed during special occasions or festivals like Uttarayan. Rich in carbohydrates from the grains and jaggery, it provides energy, while the lentils offer protein and essential nutrients. Ghee, though high in fats, contributes healthy fats and enhances digestion. The dish is also a good source of dietary fiber from the grains and helps support gut health. While Khichdo contains natural sweeteners and minimal processed ingredients, it can be calorie-dense due to ghee and jaggery, so portion control is recommended for a balanced diet. A perfect combination of flavor and nourishment, Khichdo reflects the wholesome essence of Gujarati cuisine.
