      I make beetroot sambhar but never thought of including in a khichdi. The addition makes this khichdi extra nutritious and wholesome.

      Earthy and delicious kichadi with beets. After reading the title, I got confused for a split second. For me beetroot khichdi is always the Kerala style beets raita and then I realized its the rice based one. Lol
