The famed Birbal ki khichri: Has it changed with time?

Now, thanks to Michelin-starred chef Suvir Saran, you can make this proverbial khichri and eat it too!

Remember the ’90s show Akbar Birbal on Zee TV? Anyone who has watched the serial or spent a significant amount of time in the company of North Indian grandparents will know the phrase ‘Birbal ki khichri’. The khichri in the popular story is not an actual dish but a proverbial one, and the moral is that a ray of hope is all it takes to inspire a hardworking person to realise his dreams.

Chef Suvir Saran (inset) says that the nutty flavour in his Birbal ki khichri comes from frying the moong dal.
