Khichuri, also spelled as khichdi or khichri, is a popular one-pot rice and lentil dish that is commonly eaten in South Asia. It is made by cooking rice and lentils together with spices, vegetables, and sometimes meat or fish. The dish is known for its simplicity, versatility, and nutritional value, and is considered to be a comfort food in many parts of the region.

Khichuri can be prepared in many different ways, depending on the region and the ingredients available. In some parts of India, it is made with basmati rice and yellow lentils (moong dal), while in Bangladesh, it is typically made with short-grain rice and split red lentils (masoor dal). Some variations also include additional spices, such as cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala.

Khichuri is often served with accompaniments such as pickles, chutneys, and yogurt, and is considered to be a complete meal in itself. It is also a popular food during religious festivals and fasting periods and is believed to be easy to digest and soothing for the stomach.
