How about some Microwave Cooking folks? And that too the
easiest of recipes Khichri or Khichuri as we Bongs call it!! This is somewhat “hatke”
in the sense that it needs butter instead of oil. And trust me it is one of the
yummiest dishes with the least labour. This was one of my most often dishes
when I was a beginner, a novice in cooking and it never had failed me. You will
need Gobindobhog rice for this and in case its impossible to obtain, use
flavourful Basmati. This nutritious, palatable khichuri has a subtle yet distinct flavour
of butter combined with cumin seeds and dry whole red chillies. So don’t count
the calories, just indulge in…..
