Rice, lentil (dal) and barley khichdi



vegeterian meal can be truly a detox and a satisfying experience after a whole weekend of partying. "Work hard - party harder - detox hardest" . In this recipe there are two reasons why I believe that this is the ultimate Monday recipe: simple to make and a delight for your taste budsKhichdi is essentially a combination of rice and lentils (dal). Numerous variants exist through the length and breadth of India. It finds its utility in temples, homes, restaurants and feasts. Easy to make, healthy and tasty, khichdi is a total cure for your hunger and for your indulgence. I bring to you the recipe for detox after the weekend: rice, lentil (dal) and barley khichdi.
