About Masur dal khichadi

Masur Dal Khichadi is a wholesome, one-pot dish rooted in Indian cuisine, combining red lentils (masur dal), rice, and aromatic spices. Often regarded as comfort food, it is simple yet nutrient-packed. The dish typically includes ingredients like turmeric, cumin, ginger, garlic, and sometimes vegetables such as carrots, peas, or spinach for added nutrition. High in plant-based protein from lentils and containing essential carbohydrates from rice, it provides a balanced source of energy. The lentils are rich in iron, fiber, and antioxidants, supporting digestion and heart health. When cooked with minimal oil or clarified butter (ghee), Masur Dal Khichadi is a light yet satisfying meal. However, the fiber content may be lower if made with white rice instead of brown rice. Suitable for all ages, it is often recommended for recovery diets due to its easy digestibility and nourishing profile.
