I get very excited when I am able to feed something healthy to my toddler son. He has been enjoying eating this millets khichdi.
Its a good grain replacement for the regular rice based khichdi. You can use any millet rice to make it. I used barnyard millet, also called vrat ke chawal or sama rice. You can also add mixed veggies to it.
This is a great way to add diversity to the grain intake of kids....adults too ;-), else we keep eating only wheat & rice which is highly processed these days!! Try & let me know how it was.
