Ghoogri is a savory pilaf or khichdi made from sorghum aka jowar along with choice of veggies. I preferred using carrot, peas and green pepper for ghoogri. This is a unique recipe which is loaded with nutrition and taste. Jowar is soaked overnight and boiled until cooked but chewy. Then it is sautéed with veggies and spices. This makes an ideal meal that can also be packed into your office lunch boxes. Ghoogri is generally eaten on its own and makes a wholesome healthy meal.
You can also make the Ghoogri similarly with wheat as well and it tastes just as delicious.
Serve Ghoogri with a hot cup of Masala Chai for breakfast.
