About Kichadi

Kichadi, a comforting dish from Indian cuisine, is a wholesome blend of rice, lentils, and aromatic spices, often cooked with vegetables and ghee for added flavor. Originating as a staple in Indian households, it’s celebrated for its simplicity and balance of nutrients. Rich in carbohydrates from rice and protein from lentils, Kichadi is easy to digest and often recommended for those recovering from illness. The addition of turmeric and various spices further enhances its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Packed with fiber, especially when prepared with vegetables, it supports digestion and gut health. While traditionally made with ghee, which provides healthy fats, moderation is key as excessive amounts can increase calorie content. Whether enjoyed as a soothing meal or part of a cleansing Ayurvedic regimen, Kichadi is a nutritious and versatile dish ideal for diverse dietary needs.
