## About
It is a simple and flavoured rice-based khichdi recipe with an extension of vegetables, spices and herbs. **Masala Khichdi**, or **Mixed Vegetable Khichdi**, is a popular khichdi typically made and served in hotels or dhabas. Commonly, the recipe is served without any sides but tastes great with a combination of raita or salad and spicy pickles. This khichdi can be a perfect kids’ tiffin box or a working couple’s lunch box recipe.
There are many ways to make this special **Masala Khichdi**, but the most common way is to prepare it with lentils and rice cooked together in a pressure cooker. Typically, moong dal and Sona Masuri rice are used in khichdi recipes, but any lentil is undoubtedly an option. Moreover, adding vegetables is open-ended and can take any vegetable to it. In addition, a combination of lentils can also be added to make it more nutrient and protein-rich.
