A healthy and tasty barnyard millet or samak khichdi which is cooked with minimal spices and is perfect for fasting.

A very light, easy to digest and healthy preparation from barnyard millet, commonly used in fasting. It’s a life savour for me in these days. After doing prayers and Havana, I prefer to make this quick and healthy khichdi.

Addition of clarified butter makes it a really delicious and comforting dish. One can smell it’s heavenly aroma far away from the kitchen and enjoy it’s perceived from there.
