K is for (nutty, toovar) KHICHDI and (gujarati) KADHI….
Khichdi (also khichdee, khichadi, khichuri, khichari and many other variants) is an Indian dish that contains a combination of rice and lentils. It is commonly considered to be India’s comfort food. Khichdi is also the first solid that babies are introduced to. Rice and lentils are simmered till mushy, seasoned with turmeric and salt and fed to infants to introduce them to “people food”.
This simple food can be cooked in a variety of forms…… While some cook khichdi as a rather rich and delectable delicacy, some cook it very differently - a very plain dish that is normally associated with bland taste and diet for people when sick.
 Khichdi is commonly served with another dish called “kadhi” and other accompaniments are papads, ghee, achar, and yoghurt. And today I serve this to you in its nutty variation with lip smackingly delicious gujarati kadhi on special request by Mallika!!!!!
Banana Nut Muffin…
When I heard about Nandita’s theme for WBB #7, this muffin came to my mind instantly. I have been longing to make bake this since quite some time, and hence didn’t have any excuses now. I don’t remember the real source of this recipe but it was in my cook book since a long long time (I used to maintain this cookbook long before I got married - having recipes from cookery shows, or friends and yes of course, my moms recipes.
)
This recipe is actually of a banana bread but I made muffins out of it (they bake faster than the bread :P ). Since it’s just two of us who were gonna eat this, I halved all the ingredients and it made 6 large muffins.
