BLACK RICE KHICDI

Black rice khichadi is a nutritious and flavorful dish that is a variation of the classic Indian comfort food, khichadi. This dish is made by cooking black rice and lentils together with a variety of spices and vegetables, resulting in a creamy and satisfying one-pot meal. Black rice, also known as forbidden rice, is a whole grain rice that is high in antioxidants, fiber, and protein. The lentils used in the khichadi provide additional protein and fiber, making it a complete and balanced meal. The spices used in the dish, such as cumin, turmeric, and ginger, add a fragrant and warming flavor, while the vegetables, such as carrots, peas, and spinach, add color and nutrition. Black rice khichadi is not only delicious but also easy to make and perfect for a comforting and healthy meal.
