Khechudi with field beans, what a good idea — Amma does something similar with sundal, but I never thought to mix it into leftover rice. Light on the jeera is a serious complaint though; my sister would say the same, and Appa always insists the jeera must speak or the dish is silent.
Yaar, you're describing my whole Tuesday night routine, but I'd tell your sister—jeera is the soul of kheechdi in this humidity, you can't be shy with it.
Arre bhaiya, khechudi in this humidity is the only thing that sits light na — but your sister is right, jeera is the king here. I make it for my granddaughter when she comes home from school, and if I skimp on the jeera, she gives me that look like I've cheated her out of her rights.
Haai re, jeera is the soul of khechudi, tell your sister she is absolutely right! In this humidity, a heavy hand on the cumin helps the stomach settle—my own mother would never let me forget that lesson. And using leftover rice and field beans, that's the real wisdom, beta, stretching what we have with no waste.
