Moong Khichdi is a wholesome and comforting dish hailing from Indian cuisine, widely cherished for its simplicity and nutritious profile. Made with split green gram (moong dal) and rice, it is lightly seasoned with spices such as cumin and turmeric, and often enriched with ghee. Vegetables like carrots, peas, or spinach can be added for extra flavor and nutrients. Packed with protein from moong dal and providing energy through rice, this dish is gentle on digestion, making it ideal for all ages and especially soothing during illness. Turmeric, a key ingredient, offers anti-inflammatory properties, while vegetables boost its fiber and vitamin content. Typically low in fat, when prepared with minimal ghee or oil, Moong Khichdi becomes a heart-healthy, balanced meal. However, excess ghee or high salt content can reduce its health benefits. Versatile and nourishing, it is an excellent staple in a healthy diet.
