How can I add protein-rich ingredients to soup or khichdi?
Choose an addition that fits the dish and account for whether it is raw, soaked, cooked or ready to eat. Ensure it reaches a safe doneness and reassess liquid and seasoning after it is incorporated.
Why it happens
Protein-rich ingredients differ in cooking time, flavour and texture. Adding them to soup or khichdi may change liquid absorption and the cooking requirements of the whole dish.
How it works
Protein-rich foods bring solids and often bind or absorb water. Their texture and safety requirements depend on the specific ingredient and its preparation state.
