Khichuri is very famous in the Bengal cuisine as one of the easiest traditional food used as 'Bhog' (offering made to God) and also when someone falls sick at home khichuri is the dish given for their tasteless tongue to gulp in minutes and fill their tummy without much spice or oil. #riceisthebest #khichuri #khichdi #paromitasrecipes #vegetarian
