Moong dal rice is a simple, tasty, and wholesome rice dish that is made up of rice and yellow lentils along with a few whole spices. This khichdi is also a digestive and light food recipe that can be given to patients or even your toddlers, and is best for sehri also.

Quick and easy to make, moong dal khichdi is a complete meal in itself and is a healthy and wholesome recipe. It is good for your stomach whenever you are down with a fever or stomach ache or whatever

Khichdi is made in different ways in different parts of the

country. In the place I belong to, it is like porridge, so add extra.

water with rice and dal and cook it to a porridge-like

consistency, so if you want your khichdi like that, add the

triple amount of water

In some parts of the country, it is made almost like a pulao that I made, so you add only double the amount of water

Also, different lentils can be used in khichdi. The most common one in my home is moong dal; it’s actually the most easily digestible dal, so used in khichdi.

Note: I would like to clarify one thing:g I must tell you our khichdi is made like porridge,ge but I used another method to cook this recipe like a pulao, so kindly don't get confused.

Crispy baked French bread pizza slices topped with melted mozzarella cheese, marinara sauce, and fresh herbs.

Make crispy, cheesy French Bread Pizza at home in just 20 minutes! This quick and easy recipe uses simple pantry ingredients for a crowd-pleasing meal.

French bread pizza is the easiest way to make pizza at home, and it's ready within 25 minutes. It is made crisp and soft. Garlicky and herby pizza sauce makes your bread pizza delicious and flavorful. It has incredible flavor and perfect texture (crisp exterior, soft interior), and it’s so easy to customize

I have already shared French bread in my last recipe. Now I made a pizza with French bread. I used mushrooms and olives for pizza topping, along with a garlicky cheese mixture, while you can add veggies, chicken, or mincemeat of your choice. Whatever you do, like most, add it on top of the pizza. But in this recipe, garlic is the main ingredient, of this recipe as shown in the name of the recipe.

Instructions and tips below the recipe card

Homemade French Bread Pizza Ingredients:

French bread. Use soft-crusted French bread from the store that’s wrapped in plastic, or you can make my recipe for homemade French bread.d

Cheese: Use mozzarella and cheddar together for the texture. But I used mozzarella cheese as I didn’t have it at home.

Pizza sauce: I highly recommend my homemade pizza sauce for this. It will only add a few minutes of prep. Worth it

Pizza seasoning: Usually, people give the final touch with oregano by sprinkling it on top of the pizza. But here I used my homemade pizza seasoning. It makes your pizza extra-flavored and aromatic.

Olives and Mushrooms: I used both ingredients in the topping. But you can vary by using peppers, tomato slices, onion slices, and sausages.

Garlicky cheese: To prepare spiced garlicky cheese, I mixed fresh crushed garlic, peri red chili, and parsley with the grated cheese. You can use garlic powder instead of fresh chopped garlic, and if you don’t like spiced cheese, then skip peri red chili and use black pepper instead of chili.

A classic, low-calorie mixed vegetable raita recipe made with fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, and soothing yogurt. The perfect cooling side dish for spicy meals!

Veggie Raita is the simplest veggie raita recipe that requires just a few ingredients and some chopped veggies. It can lift your meal to several notches. I serve veggie raita with parathas, pulao, chicken biryani, khichdi, tahari, and just about everything.

It makes for a wholesome and delicious side dish and can be rustled up in a jiffy. Mix Veggie Raita is a very delicious and healthy Recipe as well. It is a healthy meal, full of nutrients and an energetic side dish, so let's begin.

Recipe tips:

You can add any vegetables or herbs that you like; just be sure to chop or grate them finely. Grated carrots, finely chopped capsicum, and cucumber work well. If you choose to use a potato, make sure it is boiled first.

You can use either green chili or red chili powder for some heat. If you prefer, feel free to skip both options.

Adding black salt enhances the flavor, so I recommend using it. If you don’t like black salt, you can substitute it with regular table salt.

This dish can be stored in the fridge until evening, but it is best enjoyed fresh.
