Khichdi or Khichuṛī is a dish made of rice and lentils.

In winter, fresh veggies like cauliflower, peas, carrots and what not would enter the khichuri.

An interesting fact here is that protein rich masoor dal is usually considered non vegetarian in kitchen and khichuri for puja or bhog was always made with moong dal and gobindobhog rice.
