I am sharing a unique khichdi called Hyderabadi khichdi. The basic khichdi is a simple mix of rice and moong dal cooked with a ghee seasoning of cumin, ginger, green chilies, and turmeric powder. This imparts a tangy twist to the toor dal khichdi making it holistic in terms of taste too. Make sure you top your dal khichdi with generous amounts of melted ghee.
