This wholesome millet dish is inspired by the traditional Sheherwali Dahi ki Khichdi from Murshidabad in Bengal that I fell in love with when I was living in Kolkata! It’s one of my go-to weeknight meals here and it couldn’t be any easier! I wanted to give this a new twist so I tried it with millets, one of India’s biggest superfoods! This comes out super creamy and has a lovely floral taste from the almond paste, rose water, and saffron. WATCH HOW TO MAKE SHEHERWALI DAHI MILLET KI KHICHDI: The millets make it nutritious and filling since they pack protein and fiber, which makes this Khichdi perfect for a simple meal! It takes just 20 minutes to make and you can use any vegetables that you have on hand! Traditionally, this is served with green chutney, kath or mandiya, khichiya, papad, and a simple kachumber salad! It’s rich, creamy, but still super light and this will definitely be a hit!
