Khichadi - my all time favourite

“What have you cooked today?” Mr. ‘H’ asked me as aroma enters his nostril. We were sitting in the drawing room to which kitchen was adjacent to.
“Nothing special.” I replied.
“It smells tremendous good. What have you prepared in the dinner?”
“Just normal food.” I hesitated to tell.
“What na?” He insisted.
Khichadi!.”
“WHAT?????????????”
“Ya, it is my all time favourite and is also known as hotchpotch, a mixture of boiled pulses, rice and salt.”
“Whenever I prepared it never smells so good. HOW does it smell excellent?”

Does anyone know the answer to this question?

  5. I did not know this and had to google for recipes. It is called "simple". In my experience many things called "simple", "plain" or easy" are in fact a bit more difficult as they seem on the surface. I cook some very simple things with rice and/or vegetables; it is not "empty" - one must allow spices and tastes to have space. And any time it tastes a bit different.
    In the end it is the love, the respect, the spirit - however it may be called, that makes the food taste good - or bad. This is possible too. I can not cook a good meal when I am real angry or unsatisfied (unzufrieden).
