Oats – Dal Khichdi
Advertisement
Khichdi is a flavorful and popular dish prepared using rice and dal in which rice and dal are cooked together soft and mixed along with spices. The preparation of this recipe varies according to each state. In this recipe, I have used oats and moong dal to make it healthy and I am sure, even oats haters will love this meal as it is tasty and does not contain gooey texture. As everyone must be familiar that oats is high in dietary fiber and also lowers the cholesterol level, try to include it in a different form apart from the regular porridge. Veggies like green leaves, peas, cauliflower etc can also be included in this recipe to make it more tasty and nutritious.
