About The Book

Anvi’s Magic Pot – The Khichidi Tales is a young children’s cookbook with a focus on nutritional knowledge. Khichdi is a universal dish, especially in India.

I don’t know one person who has not tried Khichdi. We all eat khichdi, some eat it without being awed by the dish, its history or ingredients – while others eat it fully realising the historic, cultural and nutritional value. Allow your child into Khichidi world where they can learn all about this common yet mysterious dish.

Tracing the origin of Khichidi and showcasing how the dish differs across regions in India, readers are encouraged to understand how historic food can be. In order to explore the nutritional elements of cooking, the nutritional benefit of each ingredient in Khichidi is described.

Welcome to a new word where Khichidi dominates a child’s imagination.

Khichidi is exciting, mysterious, nutritious and historic. Ask your favourite adult to make you the dish more often. You are what you

eat, children. To all you young readers of this book, I hope you inculcate from a young age – let food be your medicine and let medicine be your food.

You are young and the faster you realise this the better it will be for you. Every dish you eat is made of ingredients and every ingredient has some nutritional value. Nutrition is an important element of eating and cooking.

Here is my attempt to make you understand what nutrition means and how it impacts you. I also hope some of you little readers will grow to be chefs someday and reading this book might be a first step towards getting you excited about cooking!
