Easy and Traditional Khichdi

So let's talk about a traditional recipe today. It's the age-old traditional food, everyone's favorite 'Khichdi'.

So what all do you require for this?
  • Musur dal-1.5 cup
  • Rice-2 cups
  • Onion, Crushed Garlic, Chilies
  • Garam Masala Chili Powder, Dhania powder, Mustard Seeds, Cumin Seeds (or Jeera)
  • Peanuts, Coriander Leaves
  • Green Veggies (here I have used potato, carrot, tomato, spring onion and peas-you can skip any of it or add any other vegetable of your choice too)
*the quantity of rice and daal mentioned is to suffice for 2-3 people


How to make it?

Take a pressure cooker (because the whole recipe will be done in a cooker only), put 3 spoons of oil and let it warm. Add the mustard, jeera, crushed garlic, saute a bit. Then add the peanuts and onions, after onions have become brownish, add the vegetables and the masalas (Garam Masala Chili Powder, Dhania powder) and also salt and turmeric.

Saute a bit again, for like 2-3 minutes, then add the rice and daal which was already soaked in water for sometime (like 30 minutes). Stir a bit. Add one spoon of ghee and then add water.

Amount of water added is 1:2.5 proportion, but if you like the khichdi being watery and runny, add more water, chose the lid of the cooker and let it have 2-3 whistles.

Then you are done!!

Serve it with papad or omelet or fish fry and some lemon and coriander leaves from the top!!

That makes your delicious traditional khichdi ready!!

Enjoy!!

Khadi herbal Hair conditioner review

So here I am today to review two varieties of KHADI Herbal Hair Conditioner, one is Khadi Shikakai and Honey Hair conditioner and the other is Khadi Green Tea and Aloevera Hair conditioner. The first thing I want to share is I am absolutely in love with these hair conditioners. I am the one who has dry and rough hair, and for me, I felt these conditioners are just perfect! So why I'm in love with these? I have tried like so many conditioners on my hair, some of it turned out to leave my hair too sticky, some didn't do its job at all and left my hair brittle and rough, and to be very honest, I was tired to figure out which one will suit me the best. Then suddenly I came across these Khadi conditioners. The first time I used them only I felt the difference, it nourished my hair, made it soft and smooth, like the way a conditioner should exactly be. Moreover, it is not at all costly. I believe for all the variety of conditioner that Khadi has, its priced at or...

So the shampoo actually looks like this: The shampoo had a different packaging when I just started using it and is now in this form. So you can understand I have seen all phases of this shampoo.
