southern (Nepali) comfort

After almost a year with my nanny, Nirmala, I've developed a taste for all things Nepalese. One of my favorites is khichadi, which is spelled many different ways (khichdi, khichree, khichuri) and sounds like "Kittery" spoken aloud. Made from lentils and rice, it is known as a comfort food throughout the Indian subcontinent, and often given to babies as their first food. Nirmala adds sautéed onion, turmeric, ginger and salt... yum!

All gone!

It's easy to make, too: check this out.
