Khichdi is a great one-pot

Indian dish full of goodness and flavor. It can be made in several variations. I make a slightly runny porridge-like khichdi when I am sick, khichdi full of veggies in winters and khichdi full of ghee (clarified butter) when I am full mood to relish the taste but too lazy to make anything else.
Isnt it the ultimate comfort food?
