Vegetable Masala Khichdi Recipe

Khichdi is the comfort food that is prepared in almost every household.  Vegetable Masala Khichdi is its variant loaded with veggies, to make it more wholesome and filling. Khichdi can be prepared in two ways : one with rice and yellow moong dal and another is by combining rice and split moong dal. We are using the former ingredients.

This is the most versatile dish and you can add your favourite vegetables to it. We have also added cashews and raisins to our khichdi. We have flavoured our khichdi with cloves and cinnamon and added veggies like – potato, carrots, cabbage, peas and tomatoes. You may also add onions and capsicum to make it more interesting.
