Khichdi pronounced as khich-ah-ree, is a simple and satisfying meal of rice, lentils and vegetables which can be cooked quickly without much fuss. Every Indian household makes khichdi, though it varies in taste and appearance depending on the way it is prepared and the ingredients used. A basic khichdi is usually made from white rice and yellow moong daal and without any strong spices.

Leftover Salmon Kedgeree with Quick Mango Chutney
Kedgeree is a lovely dish that has a history dating back to the colonial era. It is believed to be based on the popular Indian dish called “Khichri”, which is a fragrant potpourri of lentils, rice and spices. The re-adapted and reinterpreted dish Kedgeree consists of rice, boiled eggs and fish, generally smoked haddock but other fish can be used. My version of Kedgeree with no sugar mango chutney is an easy and delicious way to use up leftover salmon creating a hearty meal the whole family will enjoy.

Turmeric Lemon Rice
Having leftover rice from the previous day is very common in many households. And the first preparation that comes to mind is fried rice with vegetables and eggs. The recipe I am sharing with you today is a different kind of fried rice. This one doesn’t need any vegetables or egg. In fact you can make this when you are running out of your pantry stock. Turmeric lemon rice is a popular dish originating from South of India and is known under a couple of different names, such as Lemon rice, Pulihora or Chitrana. It is a slightly spicy rice preparation which has a delightful tang from the lemon, beautiful golden color from turmeric and a nutty flavor from the lentils and peanuts.
Meethe Chawal / Sweet Saffron Rice
Hello everyone, Happy New year!!!
It is after 5 months that I am logging in to my blog. Yes, I am all well.
I have been really busy with various responsibilities. We sold our house after living in it for 12 years and moved into a new one that we built ourselves. We knew nothing about building and even though we hired tradesmen to do all the jobs it was a lot of work managing the whole design and construction process. Days were long, stressful and exhausting, and I was overwhelmed in the beginning but supported my husband fully in carrying the project through from start to finish. The result is a home we love and one that reflects our tastes and preferences.
I am starting the year with a seductive recipe that I have grown up eating and love it.
