Mutton Khichda Recipe

on

Khichda or khichra, is a popular slow-cooked wheat and rice-based dish that is similar to – but not the same as haleem. Widely consumed in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, the mutton khichda, as the name suggests, is meat-laden version of the regular khichda, which is made with cracked wheat, rice, lentils, and spices. Though it needs no special occasion to be prepared, the delicious and wholesome khichda is especially popular during the holy month of Ramadaan. But we’re all for binge-eating some mutton khichda this week, so here’s a recipe that you can try out as well!
