Recipe GLPR6691fa50732f15
Khichu is a traditional savory rice flour porridge from Gujarat, India. This warm, comforting dish is made by slowly stirring rice flour into seasoned boiling water, creating a creamy, lump-free texture. Infused with aromatic cumin seeds, fresh green chilies, and cilantro, it's finished with a drizzle of oil for richness. Light, satisfying, and naturally dairy-free, it serves as an excellent side dish or light meal.

Ingredients
3 cups Water
½ teaspoon Cumin seeds
2 Green chilies, finely chopped
4 sprigs Fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1 cup Rice flour
Salt, to taste
Oil, for drizzling
Directions
Pour 3 cups of water into a non-stick pot and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add the cumin seeds, chopped green chilies, chopped cilantro, and salt to taste. Allow the mixture to boil for 3 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Reduce the heat to low. Slowly pour the rice flour into the pot while stirring continuously and vigorously with a wooden spoon to prevent lumps from forming. Once all the flour is incorporated, cover the pot and cook on low heat for 9 minutes, stirring twice during the cooking time, until the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
Drizzle oil over the top of the khichu.
Transfer to a serving bowl and serve hot.
