Moong Daal Pulao/ Sookhi Khichdi – a healthy delicious rice and lentil pilaf

Moong daal pulao, sookhi khichdi is a very healthy nutritious one pot meal.  It is quite easy to make with few basic Indian spices.  I tasted this pulao at a Gujarati friends’s place and loved it instantly. This is very mild yet taste delicious with kadhi and raita.

Its regular in my kitchen now and once a week I make it with kadhi and raita. It can easily be packed in lunchboxes with some yogurt and papad. Kids also likes it as it is quite mild in taste.

This moong daal pulao is also popular as sookhi khichdi .You can also make this khichdi with tuvar daal .
