Vrat Sweet Potato Khichdi

This wonderful fasting dish was our favorite growing up! To be honest, this was one of the reasons to observe any kind of fast (later, it was for proper reasons 🤪). It's an easy, healthy and delicious recipe which can be eaten not only for fasting but even on regular days. For now, it's our spicy desi version of sweet potato hash which my 8 month old loved 😊 (no salt/chillies of course) so will make this more!
