Bajre Ki Khisri / Kambu Ven Pongal - Haryana

From Gujarat, we travel to Haryana today. Haryana means – the house of Gods. Hari is one of the names of Lord Vishnu and ayana means home. Chyawanprash was first made here. From Wiki – “Haryana has a rich cultural heritage that goes back to the Vedic times. Dhosi Hill, the ashram of revered Rishi Chyawyan is an important site where Chyawanprash was formulated for the first time. Cattle being common in Haryana, dairy products are a common component of its cuisine.[54][55] Specific dishes include kadhi, pakora, besan masala roti, bajra aloo roti, churma, kheer, bathua raita, methi gajar, singri ki sabzi, and tamatar chutney. Lassi and sharbat and nimbu pani are three popular non-alcoholic beverages in Haryana. Liquor stores are common there, which cater to a large number of truck drivers. ”Coming to today’s recipe, it is a wholesome and delicious breakfast!! Khisri or Khichdi is so much similar to the Pongal we do in the South.. This one is very much like the Ven Pongal, but made with the very healthy whole green moong dal and bajra..
