About Mug and rice khichri

Mug and Rice Khichri is a comforting, one-pot dish that originates from Indian cuisine, embodying simplicity and nutrition. It is primarily made with split green gram (moong dal) and rice, gently spiced with turmeric, cumin, and ginger. Often referred to as a soul food of India, it's a staple meal that's easy to digest and widely regarded for its nourishing properties. Rich in protein from the lentils and carbohydrates from the rice, it provides balanced energy and is gluten-free. The addition of ghee or oil provides healthy fats, while optional vegetables like carrots, peas, or spinach enhance its fiber, vitamins, and mineral content. However, high amounts of ghee or excessive salt might make it calorie-dense, so moderation is key. Light, wholesome, and flavorful, Mug and Rice Khichri is not just a meal but a symbol of comfort and restorative health.
