Best 13 Comforting and Satiating Indian Khichdi Recipes
After a long and tiring day when your bones are almost giving away, after a deadly fever that has left you like a rag, or on a cold winter’s day that freezes your spine, what could rescue you but a bowl of khichdi! The humble khichdi is perhaps the homeliest dish one can think of. Comforting and satiating, it takes care of your tummy and spirits.
However, one complaint most people have against this wonderful dish is that it often turns out to be monotonous. That is because a lot of people are unaware of the versatility of this sumptuous rice dish, and keep preparing the same old khichdi recipe over and over again. Try our latest khichdi recipes, and you will be amazed by how exciting the seemingly humble khichdi can actually be!
1. The most common and basic khichdi is a Moong Dal Khichdi. From the land of west India, this is a very soothing khichdi, especially when served with a bowl of hot Gujarati Kadhi. It is one of the homliest meal.

2. What’s famous in North of India is Palak Khichdi. The combination of rice and yellow moong dal remains the same. However, the khichdi is made in a different way.

Finally the how bowl of khichdi is served with a bowl of dahi and papad.
3. Panch Dhan Khichdi is a healthy traditional recipe from the land of Gujarat. Our ancestors use to make this as a healthy one dish meal for dinner. With new culinary trends setting in, it has been made more flavourful by the addition of a coconut, chilli, ginger and garlic paste. Do try it out!
