Khichu - The soft and gooey snack
What started off as a dough for making the yummy khichiya papads, itself ended up as a delicious dish. Commonly found across the food stalls in many Dandiya and garba venues during Navratri, it is a dough made from rice flour added to boiling water alongside green chillies, cumin seeds, and sesame seeds, then cooked in steam and seasoned with groundnut oil. The groundnut oil seasoning gives a gourmet touch to this simple, wholesome dish. Although it is commonly prepared using the rice flour, other variants include usage of wheat flour, nachani (ragi) flour, bajri flour and jowar flour. Its warm, soft and gooey texture makes it a great evening snack during the colder months, loved by children and adults alike.
