Kichri is a wholesome, traditional dish originating from South Asian cuisine, often considered comfort food. Made primarily with rice and lentils, it is lightly seasoned with turmeric, cumin, and other warming spices, offering both simplicity and nourishment. Variations can include vegetables like carrots, peas, or spinach, and some recipes add ghee for richness. High in protein and fiber, Kichri supports digestion and provides sustained energy, making it ideal for a balanced meal. Its mild spices and soft texture make it particularly suitable for individuals recovering from illness or seeking gentle, easy-to-digest food. While the dish is naturally gluten-free and can be vegan, its nutritional profile depends on the preparation—adding too much ghee or oil could increase saturated fat content. Kichri exemplifies how simple ingredients can create a nutritious and deeply satisfying meal treasured in households for generations.
