Bhoona khichdi is something the Bengalis offer to God in any Puja.BGobindo bhog rice is essential to get the perfect aromatic bhoona khicdi for puja. In puja usually vegetables are not added. For daily eating,basmati rice can be used and adding vegetables is a good choice to make it more healthy protein food. Bengali people prefer to have this on rainy days with some pakoda or fish fry. It is an easy one pot dish. Perfect for single cooking too.
