Geeli Khitchdi Recipe

I chanced on an article by the international society for krishna consciousness (iskcon), known colloquially as the hare krishna movement about the mahaprasad they give in their various temples. In kolkata they dole out what is known as geeli khitchdi. Geeli means wet which means this khitchdi will not be of a totally dry consistency but slightly runny and semi solid!the recipe was mentioned with the article which i saved for future use. Little did i know that i would be making that lovely, delicious and divine khitchdi for the bloghop! a simple khitchdi is made using rice, dal and a tempering of spices. However this khitchdi uses a mix of lentils/dals along with long grained rice, spinach, tomatoes and potatoes which are deep fried to a golden brown and served on top. Believe me this was one of the best recipes i had in a long time and now this is bookmarked as a comfort food on rainy/cold and winter days as well as a soul food when anyone is below the weather!you will love the flavours, the taste of pure ghee, the perfectly cooked lentils, the aroma of the rice and the delicious fried potato cubes on top – crispy on the outside and fork tender inside!let us check the recipe out!.
