Dal Khichdi

7 years ago | Home Cooking
DESCRIPTION
Khichdi is a simple and comforting food prepared with dal (lentils) and rice. It is wholesome, nutritious, easy to digest and also very easy to prepare.
Dal khichdi can be prepared with a single dal or a combination of 2 or more dals. This khichdi is made of dal and rice combined with not just whole spices but also onions, garlic, vegetables and tomatoes.
This imparts a tangy twist to the khichdi making it holistic in terms of taste too. When you don’t have time to prepare a kadhi, you can just serve this with curds and papad.
