FOOD SERVICE FAQs

What is Khichdi?

Khichdi is a traditional dish made from rice, lentils, and spices that has been prepared in India for thousands of years. It is valued for being simple, nourishing, comforting, and highly adaptable. At Aryaa, we position it as Indian Risotto® to help modern audiences immediately understand its creamy, satisfying, and versatile nature.

Why has Khichdi endured for so long?

Khichdi has lasted the test of time because it brings together several qualities that are rarely found in one dish: comfort, nourishment, digestibility, simplicity, and flexibility. It has been used for 5000 years as a foundational meal because it is easy to prepare, easy to enjoy, and supportive of everyday well-being.

What makes Aryaa Khichdi different?

Aryaa Khichdi is not just a packaged grain-and-lentil blend. It is a carefully designed food service ingredient system that combines:

  • rice
  • split moong dal
  • an integrated spice blend
  • culinary versatility
  • broad dietary compatibility
  • scalable batch preparation

It is designed to support chefs, institutions, and operators who want a differentiated, nourishing, and operationally practical menu solution.

Does it include seasoning?

Yes. Aryaa Khichdi includes an integrated spice blend featuring turmeric, coriander, cumin, hing, ginger, salt, and black mustard seeds. This creates a built-in aromatic and flavor foundation while still allowing chefs to customize the final dish for different cuisines, formats, and service environments.

What is in the spice blend, and why does it matter?

The spice blend includes turmeric, coriander, cumin, hing, ginger, salt, and black mustard seeds. Together, these ingredients help create depth, warmth, and digestive-friendly character while reducing the need to build flavor entirely from scratch in the kitchen. This makes Khichdi both operationally practical and culinarily distinctive.

What does the organic status mean?

The ingredients were certified organic in India through the relevant government-recognized certification process. Aryaa is currently in the process of completing organic certification in the United States.

  • it can be prepared softly and consistently
