Bengali Masala Khichdi is a flavorful and aromatic dish made with rice, lentils, and a blend of Bengali spices. It is a traditional recipe from the state of West Bengal in India. The khichdi is cooked with ghee, whole spices like cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves, and a paste of ginger, garlic, and green chilies. It is then seasoned with Bengali spice mix called panch phoron, which consists of fenugreek seeds, nigella seeds, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and fennel seeds. The Bengali Masala Khichdi is a perfect combination of flavors and is often served with a side of fried vegetables or fish curry.
