This Urad Dal Khichdi is rooted in Makar Sankranti traditions, where warming foods balance winter digestion. Chilkewali urad brings earthiness and body, rice softens the texture, and measured ghee adds depth without excess. Pressure cooking ensures tenderness, while post-cook ghee finishing keeps the grains intact yet creamy. Ideal for cold mornings.
