    Thakali Rava Kichadi is mostly a dish that's made for breakfast. However, I make it for dinner, though. It's always been Rava Kichadi for one of the Saturday nights. For the Tamil Nadu Hotel Style Mini Tiffin, I wanted to make a different form of Kichadi. Since the regular Kichadi

    has less tomato added, I decided to make it with more tomatoes, making it more tangy and delicious.

    This Rava Kichadi is very quick to make and makes an easy one pot meal you can make for dinner. When we get bored of the regular Saturday dinners, I make this for a change. Thakali Rava Kichadi
