Khichdi Na Thepla
Theplas are so versatile and its a staple in my house. The other day when both my husband and son refused to eat leftover khichdi the next day, I knew I had to repurpose it into Theplas. No one could tell that I had made these Theplas with Khichdi and it gave me a peaceful feeling as it was a wholesome meal. The Khichdi was made with veggies, dal and rice and adding whole wheat flour made it a complete meal. Its so easy and best way to repurpose Khichdi. Checkout the quick and easy recipe below
