Add a photoDal Khichdi is no fancy or complicated dish which requires lengthy preparations, it is as humble as its name. A combination of lentils cooked with rice in one pot to create a wholesome and delicious vegetarian goulash. While the pressure cooker was filling in the background score for the silent afternoon my thoughts were transported to the time simple culinary pleasures like enjoying a bowl of Dal Khichdi along with pickle and salad would bring thrill to our Sunday afternoon. Dal Khichdi evokes so much nostalgia and emotion tied to the roots, it almost overwhelms. Dal Khichdi laced with ghee and served with homemade mango pickle, sliced onions, raita, is a family favourite.
