    Fada Ni Khichdi | Broken Wheat Khichdi

    Fada ni khichdi is one of those wholesome one-pot dishes that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or any time of the day. This is made with broken wheat and moong dal with vegetables and makes a complete meal.

    I adapted this from Tarla Dalal and really loved it when I had made it for our dinner on the weekdays. While I have used broken wheat as Upma, Sakkara Pongal, this is the first time I was making it as a Khichdi.

    Khichdi is the same as the Ven Pongal that’s made in South India. We refer Khichdi to the dish made with Semolina and Vegetables, while this version of Khichdi is similar to Ven Pongal. Of course, we do not add vegetables to the general Ven Pongal version.

    Whatever, it's now agreed on that we all love Khichdis and it's the dish to make when we want some simple one-pot meal for any meal! This one-pot meal is a popular Gujarati dish.

    I went shopping for Dalia and now will have to think of other dishes I could make with the rest that is left out. Some of the other dishes made with Broken Wheat or Sambar Godumai are Broken Wheat Payasam
    Instant Broken Wheat Idli
    Broken Wheat Laddoo
    Oats Broken Wheat Idlis
    Broken Wheat Payasa
    Broken Wheat Sweet Porridge
    Samba Godumai Sakkarai Pongal

    This Khichdi can be served with just a pickle and some curds if you want.

    Fada Ni Khichdi the dish for F in the AtoZ Biryani/Pulao/Khichdi Festival that's happening for the April Mega Marathon, where I have opted to make 26 Rice dishes. If you are interested to know what I am doing for F in C4AS, go ahead check it out!

      Fada ne Khichadi is very popular in Gujrati homes , and there are umpteen ways to make it , each one is classic ! A couple of years back it was made everyday for dinner .
      Tarla Dalal’s recipes always work very well , the Khichadi sounds perfect and very nutritious and delicious .

      I prefer fine cracked wheat upma over semolina one any day and so, I dont even think of ways to use the cracked wheat. I always stock on it. ☺ Fada ni jhichdi is one more way to enjoy it as it makes a wholesome meal.

      Tell me about the naming. When I came to the US, when friends mentioned kichadi, I thought its the rava kichadi that we make. Finally, learned the varieties and variations. 🙂 Great pick for F valli.

      Using broken wheat instead of rice or rava is a nice healthy twist. Amma used to make similar kichdi but very rarely. The vegetables added makes it a wholesome meal.

      I love cracked upma in any avatar and love khichdi in any avatar and so the cracked wheat khichdi is welcome anytime. Lovely pick.

      One of my favourites and a quick lunch or dinner idea. Khichdi with broken weheat aka fada looks very creamy and healthy.

      Super healthy and delicious khichdi!! I make it for dinner once in a while. Though it is a gujarati everyday meal, it was regular at my parents place too.
