Rice and lentil porridge is a hearty, nutritious dish commonly found in South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines, often referred to as "khichdi" or variations of it. This simple meal combines rice and lentils, cooked together until soft, creating a comforting, easily digestible porridge-like consistency. Typically, it includes spices such as turmeric, cumin, and garlic, which add flavor and health benefits. Rich in protein, fiber, and essential vitamins, lentils enhance digestion and promote heart health, while rice offers a source of energy through its carbohydrates. When made with minimal oil and salt, this dish becomes a heart-healthy option suitable for those seeking balanced nutrition. Variations often include vegetables for added nutrients or ghee for a richer flavor. While the dish is generally healthy, those monitoring carbohydrates or sodium intake should be mindful of the preparation method.
