Also known as: खिचड़ी
Khichdi (rice + moong dal) is soft and easy to digest — the classic convalescence food. Its potassium (180 mg/100g) and phosphorus (120 mg/100g) are moderate: fine for early CKD, portion-controlled for stages 3-5. Moong dal is the lowest-mineral dal, making khichdi the most kidney-friendly dal dish.
Values are approximate, based on USDA FoodData Central and ICMR-NIN Indian Food Composition Tables. Actual values vary by variety, ripeness, serving size, and cooking method. The database rating is a general reference, not an individualized diet recommendation.
1 cup (200g) — always count this toward your daily potassium, phosphorus, and (on dialysis) fluid budget.
