The Greek king Seleucus during his campaign in India (305-303 BC), mentioned that rice with pulses is very popular among people of the Indian subcontinent.[3] Strabo also notes that Indian food mainly consisted of rice porridge and a beverage made of rice, presently called arak.[8] The Moroccan traveller Ibn Battuta mentions khichdi as a dish in India composed of rice and mung beans, during his stay around 1350.[9] khichdi is described in the writings of Afanasiy Nikitin, a Russian adventurer who travelled to the Indian subcontinent in the 15th century. It was very popular with the Mughals, especially Jahangir. Ain-i-Akbari, a 16th-century document written by Mughal Emperor Akbar's vizier, Abu'l Fadl, mentions the recipe for khichdi, which gives seven variations.[10] There is an anecdotal story about khichdi featuring Akbar and his court advisor, Birbal.[11]
Hindus, mainly from north/northwest, who avoid eating grains during fasting, eat Sabudana khichri made from sago.[15][16] In the southern part of India, however, the word khichri is not that popular. While people of Tamil Nadu and Andhra regions cook Pongal, and Kannadigas prepare Huggi which is mung dal khichdi and Bisi bele bhath, a pigeon pea variation with vegetables, Keralites have no similar dish.
Khichdi was the inspiration for Anglo-Indian kedgeree[12][17] Khichdi is a popular traditional staple in Haryana, specially in the rural areas. Haryanvi khichdi is made from pearl millet and mung dal (split mung bean) pounded in mortar (unkhal), and often eaten by mixing with warm ghee or lassi, or even yogurt.[18][19][20][21] Sometimes, jowar is also mixed with bajra and mung dal.[21]
The Hyderabadi Muslim community, of the erstwhile Hyderabad State, in present-day Telangana, Marathwada, and Kalyana-Karnataka regions, make khichdi as a common breakfast dish, and is an important part of Hyderabadi cuisine.[22] The dish is called khichri, kheema, khatta, or other switch-around versions of the previous, named after the three parts of the meal, Khichri, ground beef, and a sour sauce, made of tamarind and sesame.[23]
As Pathak prepares to reprise the role of Hansa in the upcoming sequel Khichdi 2, she recently reflected on how special this character is to her. She noted that Hansa has become an inseparable part of her acting identity and will always be close to her heart.
As the next part of the Khichdi franchise is prepping for its release, the actress, who also starred in Khichdi 1, noted that she has been part of it for such a long duration that now, it has become ingrained in her.
Potatoes: this is the only vegetable that is used in the recipe. Potatoes are very widely consumed during fasting and hence they are also added to this khichdi which is often made during Navratri.
Seasonings: the khichdi is seasoned with salt and if you like some sugar too. Actually, I do recommend adding sugar, it helps balance the flavors and make the khichdi taste even better,

It is served with extra ghee and some people prefer to eat it topped with slices of banana. Chana dal khichdi is perfect for a party, when guests drop over suddenly or even when you are craving for a sweet dessert in a hurry!!
It was nothing short of marvellous to see a 918-kg khichdi setting Guinness World Record at the recently concluded World Food India event in New Delhi! Khichdi...the sweet and homely humble food, has worn the hearts of many! Apart from giving deep nostalgia and making everyone homesick, khichdi is a wonder food that has been a part of most cultures in India. Even renowned chefs like Sanjeev Kapoor and Ranveer Brar have not shied away from saying that khichdi is their all-time favourite comfort food!
"The whole combination of cereals, pulses and rice allows khichdi to be a healthy food item. Technically, grains and pulses together make the amino acids profile, and hence give us complete nutrition. In terms of making it even healthier, one can add a variety of grains like jowar and bajra. Even in the giant khichdi, we added these grains to complete the nutritious value of khichdi," informs chef Ranveer.
The comfort food is not only served in the form of prasads among Bengalis during Durga Puja and among Tamils during Pongal, it is also served as a simple gruel to ailing patients. Every part of the country has its own version of the dish. There are even non-vegetarian and sweet versions. Post the recently-set world record, numerous high-end restaurants have now added khichdi in their menus.
"Khichdi is the ultimate comfort food. There is a balance of carbohydrates and protein in the dish. It is nourishing and perfectly fits into the category of comfort food, what could be better than that!" adds chef Ranveer while adding that khichdi can also be a part of a healthy diet for people who are trying to lose weight or stay fit.
"Khichdi can be perfectly healthy when a good proportion of hard grain is used. People who are trying to lose weight should make khichdi without rice, by using grains like jowar, bajra and a rich mix of pulses. Khichdi can be a perfect addition to your healthy diet regime," explains chef Ranveer.
The dish was prepared using multigrains like rice, pulses, coarse cereals and vegetables. The night-long preparation was supervised by chef Sanjeev Kapoor. The khichdi will be distributed to orphans by Akshaya Patra Foundation and Gurudwara to about 60,000 people.
hariyali sabudana khichdi recipe green sabudana khichdi spicy sago khichdi with detailed photo and video recipe. an extended version of popular and traditional version of sabudana khichdi with green herbs. it is an ideal alternative to the simple khichdi where it has an abundant source of taste and flavour from the green herbs. while the recipe can be used as fasting recipe, but can also be used as breakfast or snacks recipe.
well, to be honest, i do not practice or keep fasting and i prepare the fasting recipes for my day to lunch or breakfast. and the sabudana khichdi also is my regular breakfast recipe or occasionally evening snacks recipe. i personally like to experiment it by adding other flavours and hariyali sabudana khichdi recipe is one such experiment. i like the flavour of coriander, ginger and mint added together to my breakfast and snacks. the best thing about this recipe is the way tapioca or sago pearls would gel into these fresh herbs. in other words, sabudana would absorb the flavours of fresh herbs to yield a fresh herbal taste to the spicy sago khichdi.
anyway, i would like to add few more tips, suggestions and variants for a perfect hariyali sabudana khichdi recipe. firstly, i have not added mint leaves as part of the herbal paste. while some may find it necessary, as it adds flavours particularly for the fasting recipes. you may skip it if you do not like mint leaves for fasting recipes. secondly, i have used medium to big sized sago pearls for this recipe. and the soaking time mentioned in the recipe card may not be the same for other sized sabudana pearls. lastly, once the khichdi is rested it may turn hard and may not have the same soft texture. hence you may have to sprinkle water and reheat to microwave it before serving it again.
finally, i request you to check my other vrat or fasting recipes collection with this post of hariyali sabudana khichdi recipe. it mainly includes recipes collection like sabudana vada, sabudana thalipeeth, sabudana tikki, sabudana papad, daliya. further, to these i would also like to include my other recipes collection like,
Khichdi is a favorite food for my daughters. They also love pongal, which is a South Indian variation of khichdi. Anytime when they are fussy about food, sick or really just anytime, give them Khichdi with yogurt and they will savor it to the last bite!
Khichdi is very light and easy to digest, hence it is also a popular meal during an illness. It is also one of the starter foods for babies for the same reason. However I love to have this khichdi on other days as well to get a break from spices and have a simple comfort meal.
Some khichdi recipes have onions, tomatoes or veggies added to them, which I would refer to as Masala or Vegetable Khichdi. I have also shared a Quinoa Khichdi recipe. This one is a plain simple khichdi with just lentils and rice.
Khichdi, also called Kitchari, is recommended by Ayurveda as one of the balanced foods, which is easy to digest, gives strength and vitality. It is excellent for detoxification and de-aging of the cells. Turmeric added to khichdi has lots of good health benefits. You can add ginger to khichdi too.
I have used Split Yellow Lentils to make this khichdi. Khichdi can also be prepared with Split Green Moong dal. As I wanted to make this a one-pot recipe, I added the tempering before rice and dal. Khichdi is best prepared in Ghee or Clarified Butter. You can make ghee in your instant pot using the recipe here. To make this recipe vegan, use your favorite plant based oil or vegan butter.
