Millet khichdi is a nourishing one-pot dish that brings together foxtail millet, fresh vegetables, and gentle spices. Known for its light yet filling nature, this dish is a healthier alternative to rice-based khichdi and is especially comforting during cold weather. Each spoonful feels like a warm hug, making it the perfect choice for chilly nights, family meals, or simply enjoying a lazy weekend bowl while snuggled under a blanket.
