The Zucchini Bajra Khichdi also goes easy on the spices and oil, making it all the more friendly to a sensitive stomach. Best of all, the crunchy vegetables and green chilli paste added to the khichdi impart a balanced flavour and rich aroma to the khichdi, so it can be had all by itself or with a simple accompaniment of curd or kadhi.
All this makes the Zucchini Bajra Khichdi a convenient One Dish Meals for those suffering from acidity, safe to have even at night.

Too good... A khichdi with whole grain and veggies... Quite eye appealing and flavourful too!! Most of the khichdis cannot be re-heated and served, but this healthy iron rich khihcdi can be. Definitely worth a try.

Bajra is healthy and tastes very good when used to make Khichdi. Zucchini is a great idea to add here.

bajra is a bit hard to chew even after cooking it so well. My dad could not eat. Not recommended for people with teeth problems

Hi Apeksha, Thanks for your feedback.Ensure that you soak the bajra overnight in enough water, that will make it softer while cooking.
