Notes/Tips

Khichdi is a great comfort food for many of us, I would prefer to make it especially on those days I am lazy to prepare anything. It requires minimal effort with basic ingredients available in the pantry. This healthy and nutrient rich Palak Khichdi tastes delicious and instantly satisfies our hunger. The addition of fresh and seasonal green colour spinach/palak makes it healthy, colourful and flavorful.
