Khichdi is a nutritious and aromatic dish filled with the warmth of spices and the softness of rice. Although traditionally considered an Indian dish, here it is presented with a Spanish twist, combining the flavors of cumin, turmeric, and fresh ginger. The lightness of mung beans complements the rich taste of spices, creating a delicate consistency perfect for a warming dinner. Khichdi is valued for its simplicity and richness in nutrients; it is easily digestible and provides a sense of comfort. It can be served hot, garnished with fresh cilantro leaves that add a touch of freshness. This dish is ideal for cozy evenings when you want to enjoy something gentle and warming.
