context_page_description: Khichdi, also known as Hotchpotch in english, is a dish in South Asian cuisine made of rice and lentils, but other variations include bajra and mung dal kichri. In Indian culture, it is considered one of the first solid foods that babies eat. Hindus, who avoid eating grains during fasting, eat Sabudana Khichadi made from sago. Kichri is a salty porridge. Dalia is another similar sweet porridge made from the crushed wheat or barley mixed with sugar and milk.
  Khichdi was the inspiration for the Anglo-Indian dish kedgeree and it has no relation with Egyptian Koshari which is totally different in its ingredients and recipe.
