SugarRoti

Our SugarRoti Kichiri, also known as khichdi, is a classic Indian (Gujarati) comfort food. Using our carefully blended SugarRoti Kichiri Nu Spice, we’ve created a simple, comforting dish that you can eat alone or pair with any of your favorite SugarRoti recipes. Make this dish vegan by using olive oil instead of ghee (clarified butter).
Enjoy with SugarRoti’s Potato, Tomato, & Onion Curry, another of your favorite SugarRoti curries or by itself.

1 SugarRoti Kichiri Nu Spice Package
½ cup rice
1 cup dry split mung beans or yellow split beans

Soak rice and beans in 3 cups water and drain before cooking (60 min). (Optional)
