About this recipe
Cracked jowar's earthy, slightly nutty character pairs beautifully with toor dal's subtle sweetness in this rustic khichdi. Tomato and onion add brightness and body, while ginger ensures warmth without heat. This is a khichdi that tastes like home cooking, unpretentious and deeply satisfying.
