Moong Dal Khichdi with step by step pictures. This is made with Yellow Moong Dal ,Rice ,Onion and Tomato.
Moong Dal Khichdi
Khichdi is my all time comforting food. It is not only easy to make, but it is so delicous to eat and it is high in protein as well. When i am not feeling that good, i simply make this dish. I have so many versions of it, will soon share different versions.
This one is great for kids or toddlers as well. My 2.5 year old loves it. You can add different dals in it, like toor dal, masoor dal as well. There is a recipe for masala khichdi which is my all time favourite. Will share it soon.
