Khichdi is the perfect confort food for Indians
Think comfort food, and khichdi is the first option that comes to mind. Easy to make, a one pot dish dinner, and a one dish meal, the khichdi is the epitome of convenience. Breakfast, brunch, supper or dinner, if you want a simple meal in a hurry, look no further than the humble khichdi.
Khichdi is usually made with a combination of grains and dals, cooked till soft and mushy, just a little thicker than porridge. This makes it comforting to the palate and easy to digest too. Most commonly, khichdi is made of rice and moong dal. This Dal Khichdi is perhaps the homeliest meal that one can think of, the only food you can think of having after a bout of fever or a depressing day!

Khichdi made with broken wheat, sooji, millets, barley, oats
Khichdi can also be made with broken wheat, sooji, millets, barley, oats, and so on. Try the Fada ni Khichdi, Oats Khichdi, Buckwheat Khichdi or Barley Khichdi. The simplest khichdi is flavoured with turmeric and jeera tempered in ghee. However, more spices and veggies too can be added to make more elaborate khichdis like the Handi Khichdi.
By adding more vegetables, you can make the khichdi more balanced and just right to have as a complete breakfast on any day. Have a go at the Tarkari Khichdi, Bajra Whole Moong and Green Pea Khichdi, and Vegetable Bulgur Wheat Khichdi.
