The viral khichdi paratha recipe
In one of those Instagram videos that went viral, a lady recreates khichdi and turns it into something even more enchanting-Khichdi Paratha! The concept may seem strange, but the outcome is heavenly. She wraps leftover khichdi in dough, adds some chili powder for a dash of spice, folds the dough, rolls it into a ball, and fries it on a hot tawa.

That was a feeling everyone could identify with, because that's the way we all feel about our mom's food.
