This delicious protein and vitamins rich, nutritious recipe of Khichdi is a special one as it has been shared by my brother in-law Shri. Vasant Pathak ji who was inspired to make it after eating the bhog at Swami Narayan temple. It has a soft , melt in mouth texture and flavour is super enhanced by the tadka of butter. I have recreated it too and the taste is heavenly. Enjoy!
