How To Make Bajra Khichdi

Recipe by Naiya Sheth: In earlier recipes, we made lots of variety of khichdi. And they are shahi daliya khichdi, fada khichdi, masala khichdi and of course very delicious baked masala khichdi. Basically, khichdi is a very popular homely food. But here in this homemade recipe of bajra khichdi it is made from bajra (millet) as the name indicates. As we all know bajra- millet is a good source of iron. I serve it with very flavorful Gujarati kadhi.
