Kale Chane Ki Khichdi Recipe | Black Chickpeas Khichdi

Kale Chane ki Khichdi is a delicious and wholesome recipe that is not only filling but healthy too. It’s the perfect recipe to treat your kids with, just don’t say Khichdi otherwise they will run away. Jokes apart, I made this Kale Chane ki khichdi out of no-where, this recipe was not on my head but I was bored with the sookhe kale chane and the gravy one too that I decided to give Kale Chane a healthy twist and made this Khichdi.

Loaded with flavor this khichdi is not your regular khichdi. It’s spicy, it’s yummy and the best part is – it’s a One-Pot Meal recipe that can be enjoyed with Boondi Raita. My husband loved it and we enjoyed it while watching the rain. Uff, the combination is to die for.

Lip-smacking Kale Chane ki khichdi is a perfect recipe to try during Monsoon or when the weather is chilly outside. With the same process, you can make Kale Chane ke pulav. I have added Onion-tomatoes in this Khichdi recipe, you can add peas or any other vegetable of your choice. Else, you can make it without onion-garlic too.

Kale Chane ki Khichdi can be made less spicy or moderate spicy. In our household, we like it a bit spicy and then have it with Raita to balance the flavors. This Khichdi recipe can be made in 15-20 minutes and doesn’t require that much preparation. Easy, quick, and simple to make – the perfect recipe to try on days when you don’t want to do much.
