Answer 2

Khichdi(from India)

Take 1 cup rice and 1 cup lentils and soak in water for about 10 mins. Then mix them up in a pan or pressure cooker with 4 cups of water and some salt, and cook the mixture till it is set. For flavor, you may add some cloves and a stick of cinnamon.

This is served with yogurt.

Serves as a great sickness meal - balanced (rice has carbs, lentils has protein, yogurt has calcium) and is gentle on your system.
