Bulgur & Moongdal Khichdi

After cooking moongdal as stuffed paratha, as evening snack, for the third day of blogging marathon i simply prepared moongdal along with Bulgur aka broken wheat as delicious khichdi as my theme goes for cooking with moongdal. Khichdi is definitely a comforting and soothing food which suits prefectly to anyone. Usually khichdi is prepared with rice,dals and with veggies. But i went for bulgur and yellow split moong dal to make them more healthier.

Everyone at home simply enjoyed this healthy food once i served hot,seriously this combination wonders out absolutely awesome.I skipped totally the addition of ghee in this recipe and prepared this healthy food through pressure cooker for quick cooking.This khichdi is definitely super filling,wholesome and a light meal so that you can have it very well anytime of the day. Check out the other marathoners running this 21st edition of blogging marathon here.
