Bihari khichdi brings rice, dal, spices and seasonal vegetables into one pot. Winter versions may include peas, cauliflower, potato and tomato, finished with ghee.

The surrounding plate completes it: chokha, pickle, papad, chutney, curd or fried accompaniments create changes in heat, tang, crunch and softness from one bite to the next.
