This is a simple healthy recipe for navratri vrat. This type of preparation is popular among Russian and known as kasha. I have added vegetables to make it more palatable. #goldenapron23

My recipes are simple but interesting, tasty, diet friendly and quick with minimum oil and ingredients . I belong to Jain community , therefore my dishes are strictly vegetarian cuisine.
