History: This is India's favorite one pot meal. It is traditionally a fragrant potpourri of rice (we have substituted quinoa), lentils and spices found in kitchens all over India in various avatars.

The mighty Mughals too fell in love with this rice-lentil staple and gave it an important place in the imperial menus of medieval India. There are several historical references to Emperor Akbar’s penchant for khichdi. 

Today, with every region in India having its own take on this classic dish, it won’t be an understatement to call khichdi India’s version of culinary comfort. From serving it as a baby’s first meal and gruel for the sick to a deeply satisfying lunch on a rainy day, this versatile dish effortlessly lends itself to diverse occasions.
