Many of you asked for the recipe of this Bengali Style Dry Khichdi. Those of you who are on my telegram channel know why I couldn't post anything these days.

Bhuna Khichuri / Khichdi is a pure Bengali delicacy. Here the words Bhuna means fried and Khichuri / Khichdi means a rice-lentil mishmash (we all know this very well). For the dry and grainy texture like pulao, rice and lentil both are fried together thoroughly before cooking in water and hence its especially called Bhuna Khichuri. Bhuna Khichuri recipe is prepared in innumerable ways. Every house has their own style and preferences in preparing any type of khichuri / khichdi recipe. In many houses, bhuna khichuri is prepared with different types of lentils like Masoor Dal (Red Lentils) or Chana Dal (Split Chickpea) other than Moong Dal (Yellow Lentils).
But we bengalis prefer to eat Moong Dal's Khichuri / Khichdi. And here I'm sharing the Moong Dal Dry Khichdi / Bhuna Khichdi recipe.
As Bhuna Khichuri is a pure vegetarian food, It is mostly prepared in puja festivals like Durga Puja, Laxmi Puja, Saraswati puja etc. and is offered to the goddesses as Prasad / প্রসাদ.
