Khichdi is a very humble dish which we see as a very soothing and basic recipe but in various cuisines I have come across version who add in flavor and proteins in the form of meat or a seafood Khichdi and what not. This is one is specially made for my love for pav bhaji, tava pulao inspired Khichdi which is flavored with Pavv bhaji. It can be easily prepared by cooking the dal and rice together and you don’t have to worry about the grains sticking together or any thing else.
Use what veggies you have in your fridge and you can make the pav bhaji masala at you home my home made pav bhaji masala recipe.
Other substitutions are mentioned in the video! Do try the recipe and share you experience with me. I know I am fidgeting with the simple khichdi, but if you try this one, you will love it in these times when you are craving some street food.
Stay healthy! Stay safe and stay at home!
