Anshu's Food Odyssey

Khichdi is a wholesome and delicious one pot meal recipe that is made with rice, lentils and often few vegetables. Light on the palette, it is easy to digest and can be made just under 30 minutes. If you are looking for an easy meal preparation that is also loaded with all the nutrition, Khichdi, undoubtedly is a right fit. Having said that, while many-a-times, it is made using dhuli (split yellow) moong dal, I prefer mine to be made with the chhilka (split green) moong dal.
