Lentil Khichdi is a wholesome, one-pot dish originating from Indian cuisine, cherished for its simplicity and comfort. Made from a base of rice and lentils, often seasoned with turmeric, cumin, and other mild spices, it may include vegetables like carrots, peas, or spinach for added nutrition. Traditionally considered a light and easily digestible meal, Khichdi is rich in protein, fiber, and essential nutrients due to its lentil content. The combination of rice and lentils provides a complete protein profile, making it particularly beneficial for vegetarian diets. It is typically low in fat, though the addition of ghee (clarified butter) can increase its calorie content. Often recommended during periods of illness or for digestive recovery, Lentil Khichdi is a balanced and nourishing choice, though portion sizes and added fats should be monitored for those on calorie-conscious diets.
