We all have eaten khichdi during our growing up years. It was the comfort food that our mothers would cook for us. Every home has its own way of making this comfort food. Some make it with just dal (lentils) and rice while some like to add some veggies to khichdi. Whichever way you prefer, the results are always delicious.
Khichdi is the first food that we introduce to babies. It’s easy to cook, full of a protein one-pot meal. Food to be eaten when you are recovering from illness and still getting back your taste buds. When you are out of ingredients this is the first dish that comes to the mind.
However, masala khichdi has come a long way. Almost every next Indian chef is twisting the simple dish, adding new flavors, and turning it into something exotic.
This is my version of traditional masala khichdi which consists of Toor daal, Masoor daal, and Rice. You can choose any daal you like and enjoy this when you crave a warm bowl of comfort food to satisfy your craving.
