Trivia
[Hardcore] 'Khichdi' is India's national porridge, 'most stomach-gentle dish' eaten as baby food or sick recovery food. Regular Khichdi uses white rice, but replacing this with 'brown rice' is mega-trending among modern yogis/dieters as ultimate 'intestinal-health/detox food'. In Ayurveda, green gram (Moong Dal) and spice combo is deemed perfect balance excreting internal toxins (Ama) and arranging digestive fire (Agni).
Eating tips & etiquette
