Veggie Kichidi

 

This healthy Veggie Kichidi is delicious rice dish. Easy to make when you don’t have much time. It has full of nutritional values. Here I didn’t use onion and garlic so you can have it on fasting days. Kichidi means made with rice and dal. But I have added vegetables and few spices for extra taste. Kids will love it. This can be served in a dinner time or any full meal time.
