Sprouted Moong Daal Khichdi

I always feel to prepare something light, easy and quick for Saturdays lunch and mostly end up with Khichdi or simple daal chawal.  I had sprouted some moong daal and made the khichdi with some for a change.  One can use regular moong daal or any other daal & to make the khichdi a little more interesting normally I add few veggies. 


So here is one of simple version of khichdi

Ingredients:

Sprouted Moong Daal - 1/2 cup
Rice - 1/2 cup
