Samak Rice Khichdi or Vrat ke Chawal or Farali Khichdi is a quick and easy recipe that uses the gluten-free millet Samak Rice or Barnyard Millet. A good replacement for rice and a quick, easy and healthy meal idea.

Samak Rice is used to prepare Khichdi or Pulav and is generally consumed during festival fasting days. Since the Chaitra Navratri is going to start soon, I decided to give this Samak Rice Khichdi a try and I am glad I did. The Pulav is done within minutes and is a great source of essential nutrients required during the fasting days.

Idli, Dhokla, Dosa, kheer are also prepared using this Samak Rice also known as “Barnyard millet”, or “Samo”, “Moriya”, “Bhagar”, “Vari cha Tandul” or “Mordhan” or “Sava ke chawal”. It is a good replacement for rice eaters and is a rich source of minerals and vitamins, providing essential nutrients. Since it is high in digestible fibres it becomes a healthy replacement for rice.

This Samak Rice Khichdi turns out to be a light and healthy meal. I made this very simple by just adding some peanuts and potatoes, but one can add any type of vegetables one prefers. To add some additional crunch as well as to add some good fat content during fasting days I added some cashews as well.

I have made this khichdi less spicy. As at the end of a fasting day I need a light dinner. Also whenever I make such healthy meals, I go easy on the spice. All I did was added some green chillies and ginger. One can add red chilli or black pepper if you want more spicy.

Samak Rice absorbs a lot of water and you will be amazed how quickly it gets done. So go easy on the water. You might feel it is less but do not go overboard or else you might have a soggy khichdi.

One can enjoy this with a simple achar or yoghurt. This Farali Peanut, Sesame and Curd Chutney will go well with this khichdi or even this, Rajgira Kadhi which is another good fasting recipe. I enjoy it with yoghurt and my mom’s lemon pickle which is oil-free and good on the tummy. The addition of the pickle really lifted the taste of the Khichdi and I enjoyed this Samak Rice Khichdi to the core. One can have some delicious sabudana or aloo papad on the sides too.
