Masala Khichdi || Vegetable Khichdi || How to prepare one pot masala khichdi

Masala Khichdi is very tasty and healthy one pot rice variety. We can give it porridge consistency or pulao. Masala vegetable khichdi is combination of rice, moon dal, available vegetables and spices. It is soulful food which is nutritious healthy food, gives good relief when suffering from fever and digestive problems. It is very smooth and easy going food for kids, we can feed them by adding ghee, it will melt in mouth easily. This is very protein rich food for kids, as it contains mung lentils, rice and vegetables we can skip masala when preparing for kids.

This is one of my life saving recipe, which I preparing weekly once or whenever I'm alone at home, as it is very easy to prepare and easy to have it and moreover no need to wash more dishes 🤗. Khichdi is prepared without veggies which is called as pongal in Tamil Nadu with some variation. It can be be prepared in many ways, but 2 famous ways are cooking rice, lentils and veggies in pressure cooker or first cook rice and lentils and then add in cooked veggie mix. I always prefer one pot way as its easy.
