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.

Doi mach is a traditional Bengali dish that consists of fish cooked in a yogurt-based gravy. The term "doi" means yogurt, while "mach" means fish in Bengali. The dish is a popular part of Bengali cuisine and is often served during special occasions and festivals.

To make doi mach, fish is first marinated in a blend of spices, including turmeric, cumin, coriander, and red chili powder. The fish is then fried until it is golden brown and set aside. In a separate pan, a mixture of onions, garlic, and ginger is sautéed until it is soft and translucent. Then, the spice-marinated fish is added to the pan and cooked with a mixture of yogurt, water, and additional spices, including cumin, coriander, and garam masala. The fish is simmered in the yogurt gravy until it is fully cooked and the sauce is thickened.

Doi mach is typically served hot with steamed rice and garnished with fresh coriander leaves. The dish has a tangy and creamy taste and is known for its rich and comforting flavors. It is a popular Bengali comfort food and is often enjoyed during family gatherings and festivals.
