Dal Khichdi / Pongal
Some meals don’t need to be fancy. They just need to feel warm, simple and comforting.
Desi Mealz Dal Khichdi / Pongal is made with dehydrated rice, split green gram, cashew, cumin, curry leaves, turmeric and a gentle tempering of green chilly and asafoetida. It has the soft, soothing feel of khichdi with the homely South Indian comfort of pongal — light on the stomach, but still filling enough for a proper meal.
The flavour is mild, warm and familiar, with a medium spice level that makes it suitable for everyday eating. It is especially comforting when you are travelling, staying away from home, feeling tired, or simply want a no-fuss Indian meal in minutes.
Just add hot water and enjoy a bowl that feels like home.
