Kadam Bhog is a delicious Khichdi made during the Diwali season with fresh winter crops. This is an offering to God as prasad.
I adapted this recipe from here, where I got to know that it's a dish from Rajasthan, where it is part of the festival known as Annakut. This dish is supposed to be cooked during the Diwali season. So people offer the new winter crop as offerings in all temples. Later the vegetables are used to make this Kadam Bhog, which is then distributed to all as prasad or bhog.
After the heavy indulgence, this comfort food is good for the tummy, and needless to say this delicious khichdi makes up for the taste and texture.
I have fourteen more dishes to complete and whatever chance comes upon, I make sure I cook for the list. So the days I make something else for the kids, all the elders get to eat the Khichdis. this one was particularly well received. We have been enjoying our dinners with the different ones I have been making.
For sure once I am done with all, I would surely be repeating these for dinners. So, Kadam Bhog is the pick for H in the AtoZ Quick Under 30 Minutes, which is my theme in the Biryanis, Pulaos, Khichdi, and Mixed Rice, where I am doing Quick Under 30 Minutes Meals.
