Rice is not native to Rajasthan as a result of which wheat, bajra and jowar are the preferred cereals even for making rice like dishes like khichdi, raab etc. Rajasthanis have invented novel and interesting ways wherein they prepare khichdis out of wheat and bajra instead of from rice. This recipe probably originated in Bikaner and is therefore named after the city. A wholesome and nutritious wheat and moong dal khichdi is a meal in itself. Serve it with curds, ghee and a spicy mango pickle to thoroughly enjoy it!
