Quick and easy to make_moong dal khichdi is a complete meal in itself-khichdi 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_the place I belong to, its 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 I must tell you our khichdi is made like porridge but I used another method to cook this recipe like a pulao so kindly don't get confused..
