#Diwalidelights - A simple and a hearty comfort food that tastes so delicious. This is a "no onion-no garlic" recipe which is offered as a bhog (offering to God) during Kali Puja (Diwali). Nothing can beat having this humble khichuri / Khichdi along with a side dish and some papad. It is pure divine. A traditional family recipe, that I learnt from my mother, this is what we used to have for a Diwali lunch along with begun bhaja (fried eggplants), Labra (Mixed vegetable curry), papad, sweet tomato chutney and payesh (Rice Kheer).
