Dal Khichadi
The ultimate ‘ghar-ka-khana’, Dal Khichdi, is the king of comfort foods. It's like a warm hug from your grandmother, a simple yet nourishing meal that has the power to soothe your soul and please your palate. The wholesome combination of lentils and rice in a porridge-like consistency with a tempering tadka of ghee and spices is the taste of home. It may vary from region to region, so feel free to add your household’s personal touch to the recipe. Sometimes, you need a break from elaborate and fancy stuff, and homely food with a side of papad, pickle, and raita can be just what your taste buds are craving.
