Why Khichadi is so special!

Whenever asked about Khichadi we all say that it is a perfect COMFORT FOOD! (At times, we call it as patient’s food too!) And why a comfort food ?  Because this simple blend of rice-lentil is very healthy it is less spicy, less in oil/ghee, easy to eat and digest, nourishing  and also satisfying when not so hungry. But actual reason why we call it as a comfort food is- it is a CLEANSING FOOD or you may also call it as a DETOX FOOD.

So let’s find Why is Khichadi a COMFORT FOOD!

Traditionally this simple dish is made using Rice, Lentil especially Green or Yellow Split Gram (Moong Dal) with some spices and vegetables in it.

RICE helps to

·       improve metabolism as it is enriched with Vitamins that provide the foundation for body’s metabolism.

·        Reduce digestion problems

·       Gluten free

·       restore normal bowel function and provides energy for someone recovering from diarrhea

·       Rarely causes food allergy, that is why it is an important component of packed baby foods.

YELLOW OR GREEN SPLIT GRAM (MOONG DAL)

·       Contains high protein and low in fat  as compared to any other plant-derived food

·       Enriched with B-complex vitamins, iron, potassium, zinc

·       Perfect for diabetic diet

·       Yellow Split gram is good for digestion .

·       Unlike other Lentils it never cause bloating or intestinal gas

.

Rice and Yellow Split Gram when combined makes a complete protein and also maintains blood sugar level. Easy for Digestion, low in fat and do not cause gastric problems. All these things together makes it a perfect comfort food as it helps to cleanse your digestive system and thus is called as A DETOX FOOD. (it is a Detox food only when we use less oil or ghee.)

So let’s make this ultimate satisfying, healthy, nourishing, tasty, simple…..( one can use infinite adjectives to describe this mouthwatering and stomach friendly dish)
