We all love a piping hot bowl of Khichdi during monsoon. Our cravings go high on rainy days and this masala red rice khichdi recipe is the right fit for them. The first mentions of khichdi were mentioned in the travel journal of a Moroccan, Ibn Battule. He noted how the dish was simple yet versatile - being made from a combination of rice and lentils. Khichdi's popularity didn't stop there and it ... became famous among the Mughals in the 16th century. Regional variations of the recipe exist and in the coastal state of Maharashtra, restaurants serve to cook a bowl of khichdi with prawns and various seafood. In Bengal, khichdi is a staple during poojas and holy festivities. The word khichdi translates to 'a mess' and it literally means having a melting pot of different flavours mixed in.

Health Benefits of Masala Red Rice Khichdi

Unlike traditional white rice, red rice is extremely high in antioxidants. The bran is not removed which means the nutrients stay intact. Vitamins and minerals like zinc, iron and manganese help in fighting against disease-causing radicals and improve heart health. Besides regulating cholesterol levels in the body, the anthocyanin content in red rice is well known for its anti-obesity benefits. If you're on a weight loss regime, a bowl of red rice is always going to be more filling than white rice as it's higher in fibre and protein. Lentils are a good source of plant-based protein too and strengthen your bones. Add vegetables, healthy oils and some nuts to your rice and you have a protein-packed meal that's super delicious.
