Gujarati Kadhi Chawal | Vishal Panchal

This recipe holds a particularly special place in my heart, as it was imparted to me by my beloved grandmother. During my school years, she would often prepare a dish called kadhi chawal, a meal that I truly relished. As I matured, she taught me the steps to craft this dish myself. Although she is no longer with us, every time I recreate this cherished recipe, I am engulfed by the precious memories we shared together. Whenever I remember her, I find solace in making kadhi chawal, allowing myself to relive those warm and comforting moments.
