The mega khichdi was cooked by a team of 50 people and there were some celebrities as well such as Sanjeev Kapoor and Baba Ramdev. The khichdi was prepared using rice, lentils, cereals and various vegetables. Guinness World Records’ Project Manager Paulina Sapinska said that they are satisfied with the technical details of the event and are happy to add this new feat in the Guinness world records. Khichdi is currently being promoted as ‘Brand India’ food and the aim is to position it as a highly nutritive and healthy food that can be prepared quite easily. After Yoga, khichdi may also become popular around the world.
