Those who follow my posts definitely know how lazy I am. Nothing excites me more than one-pot meals. 😀 😛 What could do more justice than a tempting bowl of Masala Khichdi? 😉
A few days ago, someone posted pictures of some drool-worthy Khichdi, on a food page I follow. It looked so good. I couldn’t wait to try it for myself. 😀
