Bhuna Khichuri

Bhuna Khichuri is a comforting Bengali rice and lentil dish that's both hearty and flavorful. This one-pot meal combines rice and split yellow mung lentils with aromatic spices and ghee for a rich, satisfying texture. Unlike regular khichdi, the bhuna (roasted) version has less water, creating a drier, more intensely flavored result. Perfect for rainy days or whenever you need a nourishing meal, this simple dish delivers complex flavors with minimal ingredients, making it a beloved staple in Bengali cuisine.
