Tasted this Khichdi on the way to Shirdi , a fortnight back...decided to make it at once...
Palak/Spinach is a store house of many phyto nutrients which have many disease prevention properties. Low in calories, replete with soluble fiber, rich in Iron and anti oxidant vitamins, excellent source of riboflavin, Vitamin K, B 6 and Folates, and is also a small source of Omega-3 fatty acids.
This nutritious spinach is combined with rice and split moong dhal. And also some green peas, which is again very nutritious.
