"This is a staple meal in my home, full of nutrition and flavour, but not costly. I think it is Indian. Garnish with some sliced spring onion, fresh coriander and sliced chilli and serve with an Indian style cucumber and tomato salad for a complete meal!"

Yes, this is an Indian recipe. Infact, I made it for dinner last night. I used 1 cup of chopped onions{instead of just 1 medium one}, 1 tsp. of chopped garlic, 1 tsp. of grated ginger, 1 tsp. of Instant quick cooking oats, 1/4 tsp. of red chilli powder, 1 bay leaf and 1 cup of chopped mixed herbs{basil, corriander leaves, mint leaves and parsley} in addition to the ingrdients you have mentioned in this recipe. The khichdi was quite an interesting change from the usual plain one we have. This is best served with plain fat-free chilled yoghurt.

I am a vegan uni student living in Australia. Coz I am poor, I try to eat as nutritiously and economically as possible, which is easy being vegan as dried beans and brown rice are so cheap! I love animals and I have a pet doggy who I adore. I cook for him too (but he gets meat sometimes, being a carnivore) For fun, I love to shop, read, walk the dog and chat on the phone
