I tried this recipe, perfect taste, i learnt to make khichadi with stuffed vegetables which give different taste than routine one. I do not know that khichadi is liked by non-gujaratis too...my family members liked it so much, that they asked me to make different varieties of khichadi...Rupal Patel.

Though the recipe calls for a big list of ingredients, it's worth giving a try. The authentic Indian masalas are the true essence of this zero oil khichdi.
