800 KG of Khichdi Attempts To Enter Guinness World Records, Baba Ramdev AddsTadka

The World Food India Festival is on in Delhi at India Gate Lawns where the night-long preparations of Khichdi were supervised by chef Sanjeev Kapoor. Nearly two dozen food enthusiasts cooked over 800 Kg of Khichdi, a traditional rice-lentil dish on Saturday in an attempt to enter Guinness World Records at World Food India fair in Delhi. Khichdi is a healthy Indian comfort food prepared from rice, moong dal, toor dal and lots of spices sautéed in ghee.

Baba Ramdev joined in the preparations by making the Tadka for Khichdi. The giant wok in which khichdi had been cooked was weighed at 1,262kg. Out of this, the wok itself was estimated to weigh around 300kg. However, officials from Guinness World Records were yet to ascertain if a record had been made.

“A portion of the khichdi will also be packed and sent to all the heads of foreign missions in India, along with the recipe,” said a person involved in the cooking.
