Have you ever tried pearl millet khichdi? We often eat khichdi made from lentil and rice, But have you ever eaten khichdi made from millet? If not than it's ok.... Today i am going to share the full recipe so you can enjoy this :ā -ā )
3 days ago on the auspicious day of akshay tritiya we made bajara khichdi which is also known as pearl millet khichdi. This is a yummiest version of khichdi, this is eaten in winters usually but This cooked only once in the summer at our home...Which is akshay tritiya...Which is our auspicious festival.
Khichdi is a quick , easy and healthy meal which we loves to enjoy. Bajara khichdi is famous in north india and in rajasthan people loves to eat frequently in winters. This is a nutritious porridge, where we can enjoy the unique chewy texture of bajara. There are many ways to make Bajra Khichdi...Even my mom and mother in law's methods are different...But today I would like to share my mother-in-law's recipe.
We can enjoy the khichdi with lots of ghee , milk / jaggery / tamarind/ beans and ker and papad. At my mom home all loves to enjoy it with ghee and tamarind , at my in-law house all loves to enjoy with beans, ker and milk. I love to enjoy it with jaggery/ sugar and papad. And yes lots of ghee , Which is the most important factor of this khichdi to enjoy the real taste of rajasthan.
