About Khichri

Khichri is a wholesome and comforting dish from South Asian cuisine, often considered a staple in Indian households. Made primarily with rice and lentils, it is sometimes enriched with vegetables, spices, or ghee, creating a balanced and nourishing meal. Its simplicity and ease of digestion make it a popular choice for people recovering from illness or seeking a nutritious, light dish. Rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients from lentils and vegetables, Khichri supports gut health and provides sustained energy. The combination of rice and lentils also delivers a complete source of plant-based protein. Variations may include spices like turmeric and cumin, which are packed with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. While Khichri is generally considered healthy, heavier versions that use excessive amounts of ghee or oil can add unnecessary calories. Its versatility and nutrient-packed profile make it a cherished dish with deep roots in traditional South Asian cooking.
