Lasooni or Lahsuni Khichdi – Chili Garlic Rice Lentil Stew
Lahsuni or Lasooni Khichdi is a spicy stew prepared during winter. These days aka schezwan Khichdi. Garlic here in the USA is not as strong as India, so I add more garlic but be sure to add garlic as per your taste. Also I add mild chili (Paprika)in my Garlic Chutney so it is not spicy either. It just shows the color but at the end, khichdi is not that spicy.
