Goodness of everything in one single pot! This Khichdi is made with Quinoa, Lentil, Oat, Rice and vegetables to make it diabetic friendly and low in carb. Your choice of vegetables can be added. I usually love to make this Khichdi on the go these days as it is so quick and easy to make in pressure cooker. I have also shared the same recipe to make in Instant pot electric cooker, click here for the recipe. Khichdi is such a comfort food that I can make and eat almost everyday. I have already shared many Khichdi recipes like Palak, Shahi, Schezwan and so on.
