country_the place I belong to, it is like porridge, so add extra

waterwith rice and dal and cook it to a porridge-like

consistency_so if you want your khichdi like that, add the

triple amount of water

In some parts of the country, it is made almostlike a pulao that I made so you add only double the amount of water

Also, different lentils can be used in khichdi, The most common one in my home is moong dal, it’s actually the most easilydigestible dal so used in khichdi

Note:I would like to clarify one thing I must tell you our khichdi is made like porridge but I used another method to cook this recipe like a pulao so kindly don't get confused.
