About Sankranti Khichdi

Makar Sankranti is an Indian festival celebrated in almost all parts of India in lots of cultural forms. In some parts people fly kites and consume til-gur. However in north apart from all this people celebrate it as a harvest festivle and consune khichdi a mix of dal & rice on that day. Here I am sharing a variation of sankranti khichdi. Traditionally it is made from urad chilka or split black gram dal.I am substituting it with moong chilka because it is easy to digest.
