About this recipe
Rolled oats, rinsed and cooked with yellow moong dal into a creamy, protein-rich khichdi, absorb the warmth of ginger, cumin seeds, and turmeric while mixed vegetables add subtle sweetness and body. The result is a modern interpretation of a classic comfort dish, where the oats' natural creaminess and the dal's mild earthiness support rather than compete with the spices.

- 3Add mixed vegetables, rolled oats, yellow moong dal, water and salt; stir well so nothing sticks to the base.

- 5Stir to a soft khichdi texture, finish with coriander and lemon, and serve hot.
