Waghareli Khichdi | Gujarati Vaghareli Khichdi

Waghareli khichdi or vaghareli khichdi is a filling quick dish from Gujarat. This one pot meal is a wonderful choice for a quick dinner meal.

I picked up this when I remember Suma making this for her series last time. I was so glad when she had because a series like that surely gives so many ideas. Since I had to get two lists ready, I was all for any kind of help that comes my way. I ended up using this for W, for Waghaar / Vaghaar, which is a Gujarati word meaning the ‘tempering/seasoning’ part.

So essentially this is tempered rice, however, you will surely change your thoughts when you actually get to eat it and realize how wholesome and filling this dish is. Since I had all the ingredients that Suma had listed, I simply went with the same recipe.

You can use any vegetable that you have on hand. I went with the basic vegetables plus including the fresh toor that I had on hand. The khichdi turns out really good. I was not happy with the clicks I had to take as I was cooking something else and I didn’t have my regular setup in place.

Anyway, this is one yummy and quick one to make. Waghareli Khichdi is my choice for V in the AtoZ Biryani/Pulao/Khichdi Festival that’s happening for the April Mega Marathon, where I have opted to make 26 Rice dishes. If you are interested to know what I am doing for W in C4AS, go ahead check it out!
