I too love to eat sometimes...  But yes not all the time ;) ... I guess it happens with everyone...Some people treat khichdi as food for patients... If someone is not feeling good.. or his/her stomach is upset... they will be given khichdi for lunch/dinner... So its a dish not liked by everyone... Even though we can make it innovative by adding different veggies.. soya chunnks... good spices... some people will not satisfied...
