Channa Dal Rice
Advertisement
One of my all time Fav #EasyDinnerRecipe. Usually chana daal rice (we call it khichdi) is made on some festive occasions or during some special events. During our childhood we were served this often by mom. However as we grew we were attracted towards much more spicy biriyani.
To make this flat khichri more tasty I added whole spices and onions. I have also added ginger to this. Though we normally don't use onions during festivals however during visits of guests you can prepare this version and delight them.
