Here’s a Khichdi dish with a difference!

With the monsoon in full swing, Kolkata is drenched in love, poetry and rains. Khichdi is a soul food for all of us, specially for the warmth it brings during the rains. But Nayana loves experimenting with the usual khichdi and turn it into special dishes, just like she has done with this Egg and Soya Khichdi. Try out this dish that is rich in proteins too.

• Then put boiled nutrela soya chunks and fry for some time.Transfer these fried masala into boiling rice and pulses mixture in the cooking vessel. Mix nicely. Mix sugar.Mix salt if required.

• Allow this mixture to boil, till rice and pulses become tender.

• Heat ghee in a separate pan. Add little jeera seeds. Fry the boiled eggs lightly. Mix little red chilli powder.
