Quinoa Khichdi

Khichdi always reminds me of  fine childhood memories where my mom used to cook and feed, i didnt even know the name but what i knew was it tastes yummy. I so much wanted to tell mom but i couldnt tell properly except 'bah bah buh', that was back when i was 2. khichdi reminds me of my mom, am sure it does to every. Every person including kids in india love this dish which is very popular and usually made with rice and lentils. This dish is easy on stomach usually called comfort food.
