Naga Galho Recipe is a soupy concoction similar to khichdi and is made with fresh green leaves, vegetables, rice, with meat and without meat. To prepare this Galho they use fermented soya or bamboo. Here I made this khichdi without meat and fermented soya. The process of making this dish is very simple and I made it in a pressure cooker which is done under 20 minutes.
This Naga Galho is a dish from Nagaland, which is a state in the northeast of India. Their cuisine features meat, fish, fermented soya and fresh vegetables.
My partner for this month for Nagaland cuisine in Shhh Cooking Secretly Challenge is Mayuri Patel from Mayuri's Jikoni. Do check her blog for a beautiful collection of recipes from desserts to rice dishes and etc. She gave me fresh green leaves and tomato as my secret ingredients and I gave her tomato and garlic as her secret ingredients and she came up with a delicious Naga Tomato Chutney.
This is my last day post to Blogging Marathon under the theme Biryanis/Pulao/Khichdi. We all bloggers have successfully completed this mega marathon, cooking continuously for 26 days. I am happy to be part of this Marathon.

Looking yummy and mouth melting..
Thank you.
Initially I wanted to make the galho, but then I was a bit worried about how it would taste... Especially since my folks are always very varied about different food. Hehe... The galho looks delicious and so much healthy with those spinach going in... a good comfort meal..
Thank you Rafeeda.
Most of the dishes from the North Eastern states are simple flavored and some of the ingredients used sound exotic for the remaining regions. I didn't know bamboo was used in cooking until I read it here. Your version Nagaland khichdi with simple, basic flavors sounds delicious.
It sure is a task to find a recipe from this state...the khichadi looks absolutely wonderful, and so tempting. I could pick that bowl right away.
It was a great marathon , and you have completely rocked with your shares.
Thank you Vaishali.
With the spinach in there I think my kids will love it. Good one to end the series, Pavani.
Spinach in Khichdi sounds yum. Lovely dish from Nagaland.
Its wonderful that you managed to combine for your other event as well. This khichdi surely sounds healthy! so glad you managed to cook nonstop Pavani!
This looks like a healthy one pot meal, with palak in it. Beautiful and inviting recipe.
Wonderful find from Nagaland. The kichdi looks so delicious. The addition of spinach adds a lot of nutrition as well.
This is a quick one to make and has the goodness of spinach in it that I love. Nice share.
This khichdi looks tasty and has the goodness of spinach in it. I must try this soon.
Looks like a comfort food to me, loved the addition of spinach here.
A simple, delicious and a healthy khichdi. Awesome pick
That sounds like a nutritious khichdi. Very nice and with that tomato chutney I am sure it would have tasted delicious.
I am happy to see yet another fuss free simple recipe I can use this winter time. The spinach to add a bit of nutrients and the soft rice comfort... I am sold
Rice khichdi looks so tempting. Very healthy and nutritious dish we can make for kids.
Khichidi of any kind is comfort food for me, and I should add this one pot simple Naga Galho to that list. Easy to make and healthy too!
Khichdi with spinach surely looks a comfort and healthy option. It will be great to pair it up with some spicy chutney and raita or buttermilk
This dish looks simple but taste wise super healthy and tasty... i also choose for N series.
