Green Moong Daal Khichdi- Quick and easy one pot meal of rice and lentil from North India

Green Moong Daal Khichdi or Khichuri is very healthy,quick and easy Indian comfort food made with the combination of rice and daal, almost any dal can be used to make khichdi. The ratio of using daal and rice and the consistency of thickness depends upon individual choice and preference.

There are many who don’t like khichdi and there are some who loved it.I try to make khichdi once in a week as it is light on stomach so very easy to digest.

Some khichdi’s are made spicy and flavorful like this -Yellow moong daal khichdi. But some times when you are sick or want to have something very light and filling  then this green moong daal khichdi is the perfect choice.With few ingredients you can make this mildly spiced,easy,healthy and filling one pot meal .This is also very good for kids.

This North Indian Style khichdi can be enjoyed alone or serve with  khichdi ke chaar yaar -4 accompaniment to serve with khichdi -papad,dahi,pickle and some chutney to perk it up.A spoonful of ghee drizzled on top enhance the taste and avoid using oil as it didn’t taste good in khichdi.
