Rice-lentil khichdi with ghee. CG comfort food for all ages.
Ingredients
Garnish
- Coriander Leaves (optional) (garnish) — 2 tbsp (chopped)
Main
- salt (optional) (whole)
- rice — 320 g (whole)
- Moong Dal — 75 g (whole)
- Red Chilli Powder (Lal Mirch) — 1 tsp (ground)
- Turmeric Powder — 0.5 tsp (ground)
- Ghee — 30 g (whole)
Tempering
- Cumin Seeds — 1 tsp (whole)
- oil — 2 tbsp (whole)
Method
- Wash the rice and moong dal together two to three times until the water runs clear, then soak for 10 minutes.
- Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pot, add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
- Add the turmeric powder and red chilli powder to the tempering and stir quickly so the spices do not burn.
- Add the soaked rice and moong dal to the pot along with salt, and mix well to coat with the tempering.
- Pour in enough water (about 3 to 4 times the quantity of rice and dal), cover and cook on medium flame until the rice and dal turn soft and mushy, stirring occasionally so it does not stick to the bottom.
- Once the khichdi reaches a soft, semi-solid consistency, stir in the ghee and mix well.
- Turn off the flame, garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot, with extra ghee on top if you like.
