Bhagyashree relies on humble khichdi for relief from stomach woes

Khichdi is a staple food in many parts of the country, consumed on special occasions such as pujas and on rainy days. Popular for its taste, it is also eaten on days when one is feeling sick. Khichdi, a combination of rice and lentils, is understood to be easy on the stomach, aiding digestion and enabling a person to make a quick recovery. It is consumed hot, with ghee and papad, and often with fritters. It is also given to babies to wean them off breast milk.
