So let's talk about a traditional recipe today. It's the age-old traditional food, everyone's favorite 'Khichdi'.
So what all do you require for this?
How to make it?
Take a pressure cooker (because the whole recipe will be done in a cooker only), put 3 spoons of oil and let it warm. Add the mustard, jeera, crushed garlic, saute a bit. Then add the peanuts and onions, after onions have become brownish, add the vegetables and the masalas (Garam Masala Chili Powder, Dhania powder) and also salt and turmeric.
Saute a bit again, for like 2-3 minutes, then add the rice and daal which was already soaked in water for sometime (like 30 minutes). Stir a bit. Add one spoon of ghee and then add water.
Amount of water added is 1:2.5 proportion, but if you like the khichdi being watery and runny, add more water, chose the lid of the cooker and let it have 2-3 whistles.
Then you are done!!
Serve it with papad or omelet or fish fry and some lemon and coriander leaves from the top!!
That makes your delicious traditional khichdi ready!!
Enjoy!!
