Khichri

Aren't one-pot rice meals the forever best? 

Khichris are the king of rice meals since they have all kinds of goodness - rice, daal, veggies, spices. And they taste good in winters with papad, in summers with raita, and in rains with a hot pickle. Or a combination thereof :)

This is one of my favorite khichri recipes (100% credit goes to chef Kunal Kapur).  

Rice 1 cup, Tur daal .5 cup, Moong dhuli .25 cup, Masoor dhuli. .25 cup
