Tips for Perfect Samai Khichdi:

  • Texture Adjustment: If you prefer your khichdi to be a bit more watery, increase the water quantity. Khichdi is typically soft and slightly porridge-like in texture.
  • Spice Level: Adjust the number of green chilies and the amount of black pepper based on your spice preference.
  • Add More Veggies: Feel free to include more vegetables like beans, peas, or zucchini for added nutrition.
  • Ghee for Flavor: A drizzle of ghee at the end enhances the flavor and provides richness. It’s especially good if you are serving it as a meal to complement its lightness.
