Khichdi or khichri or khichuri is made with rice and lentils and is a nutritious, healthy, wholesome and pure comfort food for most Indians.
Khichdi is like marmite- you either love it or hate it. If you are a hater, I am sure this recipe will surely change your mind! Lahsuni Palak Khichdi is delicious variation of Khichdi prepared with Palak and lahsun. ‘Palak’ means spinach in Hindi and ‘lahsuni’ means garlicky. So, this recipe is of a garlic flavoured spinach Khichdi.
Khichdi is my all-time favourite comfort food; I have always enjoyed its taste and qualities of being easy on the stomach. Saying that we have a divided opinion on khichdi at my home. My children do not crave it (except if it is Lahsuni Palak Khichdi) but relish it when put in front of them and me and my husband, relishes every morsel of khichdi and looks forward to it every time.
Lahsuni Palak Khichdi is high on taste, nutrition and appearance without it being too complex. It is loaded with protein, fiber, vitamins, carbohydrates and minerals. In some parts of India Khichdi is popularly known as food for the sick (as it is quite nutritious and light dish). However, like everything else in this world, our favourite khichdi has also undergone a makeover to cater to the taste buds of current generation. This recipe is surely high up on that list.
Try this delicious Khichdi with fresh plain yogurt and papad/poppadom.
