To prepare, simply combine the contents of the packet with the recommended amount of water in a pot or microwave-safe bowl. Stir well to ensure no lumps remain. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the rice and lentils are fully cooked and the khichdi has reached your desired consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Some people like to add a little ghee or oil at the end for extra richness. It is ready to serve once thickened.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike traditional khichdi made from scratch, this instant mix significantly reduces preparation and cooking time. It offers a pre-measured blend of spices, ensuring a consistent flavor without the need for individual spice measurements. The rice and dal are processed for faster cooking, providing a similar texture to slow-cooked versions.
