Gujrathi Kadhi, Moong Daal Khichadi and Lehsun tikhat(garlic chilli oil)
There are days when you just desire simple comfort food. This kadhi, Khichadi combo is perfect for such days. There are so many variants of kadhi and also if Khichadi. Today the one I describe you is a kadhi without it's trademark yellow colour often found in Gujarathi household(Yay tracing my roots :) ) and basic moong-daal Khichadi. A bonus is the lehsun tikhat which is another unique accomplishment with Khichadi.
