Do not rush the soaking process, my friends! Allowing the rice and lentils to hydrate properly ensures they melt together into a harmonious embrace of texture and flavor.
Pro Tip

Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you forget to add enough water, you won't get a velvety khichdi—you'll end up with a cement-like brick that could literally patch the cracks in your kitchen wall!
