Khichdi is a mixture of two or more grains. Ayurvedic scholars attribute various advantages to Khichdi meals:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>balances Doshas,<\/li>\n<li>detoxes the body and de-ages cells,<\/li>\n<li>purifies the digestive system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Khichdi is the preferred food during fasts and cleansing programs, such as panchakarma, which is a therapeutic cleansing process used in Ayurveda to free a person from excess Doshas. <\/span>Recently, western dietitians started embracing Khichdi as well, as it is easy to prepare and offers rich nutrition alongside other tangible benefits. It generally does not create any abdominal discomfort, like gas or bloating. Khichdi can also help to recover from overeating or overdrinking during the holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"vc_separator wpb_content_element vc_separator_align_center vc_sep_width_100 vc_sep_pos_align_center vc_sep_color_grey vc_separator-has-text\" ><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_l\"><span  class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span><h4>Read on for more about Khichdi, including a delicious, easy to prepare recipe<\/h4><span class=\"vc_sep_holder vc_sep_holder_r\"><span  class=\"vc_sep_line\"><\/span><\/span>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><h2 style=\"font-size: 22px;line-height: 1.5;text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" >Content<\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"#khichdi_general_ingredients\">General ingredients<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"#khichdi_vegetables_and_effects\">Most popular Khichdi vegetables and their effects<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"#khichdi_spices_and_effects\">Most popular Khichdi spices and their effects<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"#ayurvedic_khichdi_recipe\">Ayurvedic Khichdi recipe<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"#khichdi_variations\">Khichdi Variations<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a style=\"color: #3366ff;\" href=\"#faq_about_khichdi\">Frequently asked questions<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 22px;line-height: 1.5;text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading\" id=\"khichdi_general_ingredients\">General ingredients<\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Khichdi&#8217;s main components are grains and legumes, enriched by vegetables and spices.

The following tweaks reduce a khichdi recipe&#8217;s calories per serving while maintaining its nutrional advantages:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"q-box\">\n<li>Adjust the mixture of grains; increase dal \/ lentil portion and reduce rice portion. Mung dal is an excellent choice.
