Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to add enough water will turn your regal khichdi into a scorched brick that could be used for medieval fortifications.
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
The royal jester declares that Khichdi is essentially what happens when rice and lentils have a mid-life crisis and decide to become a porridge.
