Simple Kichdi

A simple one pot meal with protein rich dal, combined with no over-the-top seasoning and some veggies. Tada... you got yourself a lovely kichdi! Have this with papad, pickle and curd.
Kichdi is always light on the tummy and that is what makes me stick to this recipe at least once every two weeks. You can add any combination of veggies in the kichdi!
