When the sky turns grey and the air feels heavy with rain, Bengalis crave comfort — and nothing hits the soul quite like a warm plate of Echorer Khichuri (raw jackfruit khichdi).
Hello everyone! Welcome to Sasvibe.
This humble yet hearty dish is a monsoon favourite in many Bengali households. The soft, fragrant rice cooked with raw jackfruit, moong dal, and aromatic spices creates a unique balance of texture and flavour. Echorer subtle meat-like bite pairs beautifully with the mellow warmth of khichuri.
Add a spoon of ghee on top, pair it with some begun bhaja (fried eggplant), and maybe a crispy papad — and suddenly, the rainy gloom feels like joy on a plate.
One bite, and you’ll know — this isn’t just food. It’s emotion, tradition, and comfort all wrapped into one.
If you’ve never tried Echorer Khichuri, this monsoon is your perfect excuse!
