Toor Dal Khichdi

Toor dal khichdi,is a comforting and delicious one pot meal ready to eat in few minutes.Whenever I feel like lazy ,and believe me,I am lazy almost everyday.I prefer to cook khichdi and rice based one pot meals.Most of the time there is just me and toddler at home for lunch days.So I prefer to cook such easy peasy meals for us.


However,it is very hard to impress the little one,but still she is a happy face for rice.If I would ever ask her what do you want to eat,she would say only these two words that she recently learned-ricce and ooti,means rice and roti .This toor dal khichdi is for such lazy days and believe me it does taste awesome.I like my khichdi with a dollop of desi ghee and I am satisfied.
