Fall Harvest Tomatillo Curry Khichdi

 

Khichdi (also spelled khichri) is a classic Indian rice and lentil dish — simple, nourishing, and endlessly adaptable.
Use any lentils, add your favorite proteins, and swap in whatever fall veggies you have on hand.

Roast Veggies

  • 1 sweet potato, cubed
  • 1 carrot, sliced
  • ½ delicata squash, cubed
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • pinch cinnamon/nutmeg
  • Salt & pepper


Roast at 425°F for 20–25 min until tender.
