Khichdi is a simple rice and lentil dish popular in North India. Often regarded as a comfort food, it’s often served with a spicy pickle, cool yoghurt, and crispy papad. Dal (mostly moong dal) and rice are cooked together in a pressure cooker and tempered with common spices. While you can add vegetables like carrots, peas, onions, or even beans to the mix, khichdi is traditionally enjoyed without vegetables.
