KHICHRI
Serves four
This is a versatile rice dish which can be eaten by itself or with Ghee or butter added to it.
It is also often eaten with Indian pickles or with mango pulp.
More often, curds or Kadhi made from curds is poured over it and enjoyed along with Papads and pickles.
When eaten with curds, vegetable like potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, French beans and the like are added to the dish and cooked along with the rice. You may choose your own vegetables to be added. This form of Khichri is called MUNGI KHICHRI meaning dumb khichri. Again, a Parsi tongue-in-cheek description.
Parsis eat it with egg, fish or mutton Saas or Patia.

Heya! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any issues with hackers? My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing months of hard work due to no data backup. Do you have any methods to protect against hackers?
