Healthy millet khichdi is my favorite healthy version of khichdi, made using ‘Foxtail’ millets and lentils. Khichdi is generally made with rice and lentils. Whenever I used to be unwell, my mom always made this. It is my go-to comfort food. This healthy gluten-free millet khichdi recipe is very easy to make an instant one-pot meal. It is a very close substitute for rice khichdi in terms of taste but the millet khichdi has many more health benefits. Do try this really easy millet khichdi recipe at home and comment whether you liked it! I love to eat with this with pickled vegetables.
