Samo Khichdi / Moriayo /Bhaghar /Samak Chawal is a quick and easy recipe made using the gluten free barnyard millet. The khichdi can be made under 20 minutes by sauteing and cooking all ingredients together. The cumin and ginger green chili uplifts the taste of the bland samo or barnyard millet and peanuts give a good crunch to the recipe. The recipe can not only be enjoyed while fasting but can be enjoyed on any other days. The khichdi is best served when warm with some ghee, curd, raita, shingara kadhi , or shaak.
