📌Traditional Bhoger Khichuri, found in pandals during Durga Puja, is a delicious and aromatic Bengali recipe made without onion and garlic (non-vegetarian - sattvik). It is primarily made using Gobindobhog rice and Sona Moong Dal.

1 📌 It's primarily made in many homes during Durga Puja or other auspicious occasions as an offering to the Goddess. This khichdi typically includes potatoes, cabbage, carrots, peas, tomatoes, and whole spices. I made it in a pressure cooker, like a one-pot meal.

#Manisha_PureVeg_Treasure #LoveToCook_ServeWithLoveis my introduction as a home chef.At the age of 10, I started my cooking journey with my mother's guidance. My cooking guru is my Maa - Mrs. Madhuri Dhanraj Bhatia. She was a master home chef, running a small business of food items like daily meal tiffin, traveling food packs, seasonal pickles, papad, chips, fryums, etc. So I learned a lot from her. At the age of 18, I got married to a huge joint family and started my new journey. My family loves my dishes and appreciates me. Especially my husband and my son. So, day by day, I improved myself, and today, cooking is my hobby, my passion. My husband, Mr. Kamal Sampat always supports and motivates me. All credits goes to my mother and my husband.I joined Cookpad in September 2018.Till today sharing my recipes. I am happy to join Cookpad, to learn and share more and many more. ❤️👍👌💐
