Moong Sprouts Khichdi | Easy Lunchbox recipes | Quick Meals for Bachelors

Khichdi = comfort food. With the mercury soaring and me feeling all listless this week, this one pot meal – Moong Sprouts Khichdi – was not only super quick to make, but healthy and filling too. Accompanied by roasted papad and a dollop of freshly made ghee, I was good to go for the rest of the day. You may add any of the veggies to this yummy dish, and I added bell peppers, carrots, a handful of peas and onions too. 

If packing this meal for lunchboxes, add(like I did) a dash of garam masala and a cinnamon stick, and the wonderful aroma makes afternoon meals worthwhile.  For kids, you may also pack a bowl of yoghurt (curd) or raitha along with some pickle (older kids, esp) and there you have a complete meal by itself. Also, a super easy and hearty meal for Bachelors
