To many, the humble khichdi or khichri or Khechudi, evokes a medley of emotions, by the mere mention of the name, one either loves or hates it. Almost every state in India has its own name for Khichdi.

Ayurveda, the Indian wisdom of medicine, also recommends Khichdi for all body types as a cleansing regimen. Khichdi is fed to infants to introduce them to adult food as it is soft, easily digested, and has no spices. The khichdi refers to a nutritionally balanced stew of rice and pulses, usually made with high quality grains, easily digestible lentils, fresh vegetables, exquisite spicing and homemade ghee, making it adequate, luscious and comforting.

Serve Khichdi With Fresh Spices Recipe with Pudina & Dhaniya Raita Recipe and Aam Ka Achaar Recipe for a simple comforting weeknight dinner.

Serve Khichdi with Fresh Spices with Lauki Raita, Burani Raita or any other raita of your choice.
