Khichdi is one of those quick, comforting, and healthy meals you make when you’re not in the mood to cook or if you’re not feeling well....

Around three-quarters of the population of Gujarat are vegetarian for an assortment of reasons. Among religious, economical and health reasons, many Gujarati’s believe that the abundance of nuts, beans and leafy greens available in their region neutralises the need to eat meat....
