Vegetable Khichdi

I am sure there are many people who consider khichdi to be food for sick people only but a few are like me as well ;) I just love khichdi anyday to replace my main course. Today, I found a small brinjal, peas, half cauliflower (tastes really good in khichdi) in my fridge so thought of making this veggie khichdi and sharing this recipe with you all.

You can add many other vegetables also like carrot, beans etc.

So here we go :

Ingredients :

3. 1 cup rice
4. 2 teaspoon cumin seeds
5. 1/2 cauliflower cut into small pieces
6. 1 cup peace
7. 1 small brinjal cut into small pices
8. 1 onion sliced
9. 2 medium tomatoes
10. salt to taste (It takes enough of salt)
11. 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
12. 1 teaspoon turmeric
