Notes

• The porridge mix powder keeps well for 4 months in room temperature itself.
• This khichdi thickens with time so switch off accordingly.
• Add more water as it takes sometime for the millets to cook as with rice.
• I didn’t sieve as the mixture is coarse.
• You can even add any vegetables with this.I usually feed this khichdi along with the poriyal we make for us.
