Bengali masoor dal khichdi
It's been raining a lot lately. When it pours on the outside with dark clouds surrounding the environment, we Bengalis crave for Kichudi. A piping hot plate of khichudi is just what the heart desires when a Bengali come home soaked in the rains.
For we Bengalis, rain is almost synonymous with eating khichudi accompanied with begun bhaja (fried aubergine), aloo bhaja (potato fry), papad and piyaji (onion fritters). It is the ultimate comfort food!
