Kichuri is a traditional South Asian comfort food, particularly popular in Indian, Bangladeshi, and Nepali cuisines. It is a one-pot dish made by cooking rice and lentils together, often flavored with spices like turmeric, cumin, and ginger. Vegetables such as potatoes, peas, or carrots are commonly added, and it can be served plain or paired with fried items, pickles, or yogurt. Nutritionally, Kichuri is rich in protein and fiber from the lentils and provides essential carbohydrates from the rice, making it a wholesome and easily digestible meal. The dish is often prepared with minimal oil, enhancing its health benefits, though richer versions may include ghee or fried accompaniments, increasing calorie content. Its comforting texture and balanced nutrition make it a popular choice, particularly during illness or for a light, hearty meal.
