On auspicious occasions like Makar Sankranti, the traditional Gujarati comfort food Vaghareli Khichdi is a great meal to cook. To make this healthy one-pot dish, you'll need rice, split moong dal, potatoes, seasonal veggies, and fragrant spices. Ghee, mustard seeds and curry leaves give the khichdi a powerful tempering that is hard to resist. It is perfect for both seasonal feasts and weeknight dinners since it is nutritious, moderately spicy, and easy to digest.
