Bhuna Khichuri by Bong Eats

Add this ‘niramish’ khichuri to your Lakshmi Puja menu

The timeless combination of gobindobhog rice, moong dal and dollops of ghee gets some surprising new companions – cashews and raisins – in this Bhuna Khichuri recipe from Bong Eats. The result is a delicious spin on a traditional recipe that teams up perfectly with some labra and gorom begun bhaja. 

An all-time favourite in Indian kitchens, the humble khichuri is mandatory in many Bengali households on the day of Lakshmi Puja. While the Bhuna Khichuri recipe is a little on the drier side, for those who are fans of the slurpy variant of this dish, try out the Bhoger Khichuri recipe instead. 

Finish your meal with a generous serving of or tomato chutney before you settle in for that comfortable afternoon siesta (a.k.a ‘khichuri ghum’)!
