Bhuna Khichuri
Also known as: ভুনা খিচুড়ি
Bengali rice-and-moong khichuri enriched with ghee, cashews and raisins.
About Bhuna Khichuri
Bong Eats records this niramish bhuna khichuri as grandmother Durga’s Lokkhi Pujo preparation. Gobindobhog rice and shona moog dal form a rich, polao-like Bengali dish, with cashews and raisins.
Bengali-style ghee provides richness around the lightly spiced grains. Ginger, green chillies, whole spices and Bengali gorom moshla add aroma, while raisins and sugar contribute sweetness.
The rice and dal remain fully cooked but unbroken and separate, with a glossy ghee coating. Fried cashews and plump raisins punctuate the grains, and labra is the selected optional pairing.
