Tips, food safety & substitutions
Boil the eggs until fully set and keep the khichdi soft by adding hot water if it thickens. Contains egg and milk (ghee); use oil instead of ghee if preferred. Masoor dal can replace moong dal. Add extra water for a thinner, soupy khichdi for children or elders. Nutrition values are estimates and vary with exact ingredients and portion size.
