About Moong and rice khichri

Moong and Rice Khichri is a traditional South Asian comfort food known for its simplicity and nutritional balance. Made with split yellow moong lentils and rice, this wholesome dish is often spiced lightly with turmeric, ginger, and cumin, and sometimes enriched with vegetables for added flavor and texture. It originates from Indian cuisine and is particularly cherished for its ease of digestion, making it an ideal choice during illness or detoxification. Moong lentils are rich in protein, dietary fiber, and essential amino acids, while rice contributes energy-boosting carbohydrates. Together, they form a complete protein profile that supports muscle development and repair. Khichri may include ghee or oil, which provides healthy fats, though excessive amounts can add unnecessary calories. Low on spices and highly nourishing, Moong and Rice Khichri is a versatile dish suitable for all age groups, embodying health and comfort in every bite.
