A Devotion For Dal Khichdi

Sameer Jha

When I was younger, I used to wonder a lot.

Why would anyone order Khichdi for dinner?

When Biryani and Naan are some of the options you’ve got.

What made the blandly flavoured Khichdi a winner?


As an adult I have learnt the importance of gut health,

And have difficulty digesting food laced with spice.

I have realized the humble Khichdi’s immense wealth.

There is nothing better than lentils blended with rice.
