Notes & Variations
- If the lentils are old (it is very hard to tell visually), the cooking for the khichri may go over 3 hours. Alternately, use a pressure cooker or Instant Pot to speed up the cooking.
- Substitute watercress for spinach, arugula, or kale.
- Fennel fronds are the wispy tips of the fennel bulbs — they have a delicate flavor and are best eaten slightly cooked or raw.
- For a plant-based version, substitute the ghee with olive or coconut oil.
