Rava Kichidi

Rava Kichidi
Rava Kichidi or Vegetable Upma is one of my comfort dishes. My most favorite kichidi that I have tasted is from "Sagar" restaurants of Bangalore. Kichidi / Upma from "Sagar" is slightly sweet in taste & also has a nice smooth texture to it. I'm still trying to perfect my kichidi to that taste. Hope one day I will !!! Here is the recipe for a comforting yet mouthwatering dish. Enjoy.
