Masala Rava Khichdi & Flaxseed Coconut Chutney

Khichdi, this breakfast dish is simply prepared with semolina aka rava with a variety of vegetables and whole spices. This South Indian breakfast dish is definitely a filling dish and i love it to the core.Honestly speaking, am a great fan of Masala khichdi than the easy breezy upma eventhough upma is my H's favourite. Some may call this khichadi as masala khaarabath,Khichdi with loads of veggies is always my favourite.You can add any sort of veggies to make this delicious khichadi or else cook just with onions and tomatoes. Serve this flavourful khichadi with thick coconut chutney, i can have it anytime.

Masala Rava Khichdi, flaxseed chutney

An excellent,quick and easy breezy breakfast or dinner to enjoy without any hesitation.My mom used to make this khichadi with garlic cloves instead of ginger garlic paste and temper it with whole spices like clove,cinnamon stick,bayleaf and fennel seeds instead of usual tempering spices. But this time since i want to make masala khichdi i went for ginger garlic paste, this will give definitely a fabulous masala flavour to this simple khichadi.After two combo meals, my today's post is going to this week's blogging marathon with Combo meals as theme. For my third post, i picked Khichdi and chutney from the list given by Valli.Check out the Blogging Marathon page for the other Blogging Marathoners doing BM#46.

I like to add vegetables to upma, but husband is not a fan of it. Will try this recipe sometime when I am all alone at home. Flax seed chutney looks great.
