A super healthy and a wholesome treat after a long and a great party week. This simple yet a flavourful and a refreshing dish is made with two different Puffed Millets that makes it extra light and a balanced meal. It's absolutely refreshing and yummier. And it is made in a jiffy. It doesn't require any long cooking time too. And is done quickly on a stovetop. That's because it is made with Puffed Millets that are not only easy to cook but also reduces the cooking time considerably.

It's an interesting twist by me what with already a horde of healthy and wholesome Khichdi recipes that are made throughout the Country in every single household. This is special and an innovative take on this wonderful one pot healthy food by me. An idea that just clicked one fine busy morning during a hectic schedule. And it turned out absolutely right. It was an amazing addition to a long list of innovative cooking from my kitchen. Any Millet can be used and even Vegetables can be added to it. I chose two Millets to make it more healthier and yummier. Let's get started.

Enjoy Healthy Cooking with Zeen!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
