What is better than to have langar (a type of religious community eating ) style chana dal khichdi at home.

Yesterday my daughter asked for this langar style Chana dal khichdi which we used to have in Langar at Gurudwaras and at Satsang It was simple and good in taste, not as much tasty as we get there but a worth eating.
