Method

Before starting the process of making khichdi, make sure to soak the rice and ketils together for 1/2 an hour before cooking.

After it is soaked up well..wash off nicely..Take a pressure cooker..Make sure to take a medium sized cooker because the food will double up when cooked up.. Put it on high flame..add ghee/butter into it..let it be warm.Add cumin seeds and bay leaf..Let the seeds be golden, then add the tomatoes into it.mix well.Add chilli powder and turmeric powder..stir..cook in medium flame for 2 to 3 minutes until the tomatoes becomes soft in texture..then add the veggies..TIP-If you don’t have all the veggies available, atleast two type of veggies are completely ok..Now mix all the veggies well..

Then add the rice and lentils into it..add salt..stir

Now add around triple quantity of water..in two cups of rice and lentils, add 5 and 1/2 cups of water for a perfect khichdi texture..Mix well after adding water..close the cooker cap and let it whistle for 5 to 6 times in high flame..switch of the gas and let it cool down..Open it and you will see a semi thick porridge texture..If ever if feels dry, add some warm water to get the perfect texture.

you don’t really need anything to combine with khichdi but also you can have it with your favorite curry or curd👍enjoyy
