Durga Puja Kichuri | Bengali Bhog Kichuri Recipe | Kichuri Recipe

Kichuri and Labra are two dishes eaten as Bhoger Food,also known as Pujor Bhog.

This recipe for Kichuri is the best i have tried and it tastes perfect and special every time i make it.

But i must admit that nothing can taste as good as the actual bhog food you get in the pandals.

 Follow the exact recipe and you will be pleased.

equal rice + moong daal -eg 1 cup
usually we use 2 cups water for 1 cup rice+ daal,but for this kichidi add 3 cups water(to make it watery)
 Roast moong daal till light brown and keep aside,roasting the daal is not to be skipped for this dish.
