Add cumin seeds and asafoetida (hing) to enhance the taste of a simple and comforting dish like Khichdi.
Add vegetables like carrots, peas, beans, spinach, and tomatoes to your khichdi for a better texture, taste and nutritional value.
Instead of just using white rice, try adding quinoa, millet, or brown rice to your khichdi to not only add different textures but also boost the nutritional content.
A small amount of ghee or butter adds a rich flavour and makes the khichdi more tasty and satisfying.
Adding toasted almonds, cashews, or sesame seeds to your khichdi can add a crunchy texture and extra nutrition.
Lastly, don't forget about the side dishes. Add yoghurt, salad, pickle or chutney to your meal.
