Stylish, peppy khichdi! layer the khichdi with fried onions, rice, dal and the gravy. While making the gravy, remember to add curds after switching off the gas to avoid curdling. Serve hot with curds to enjoy a totally scrumptious meal.

Rice with toovar dal and the awesome gravy make a great Bohri khichadi. The curd adds the perfect sour tang.
