Ingredients;
1 cup Long grain rice,
1/2 cup Moong dal (yellow split Moong),
1/2 cup Masoor dal (split red Lentils),
Veggies: (Can use any mixed veggies you have)
1 cup or more of Cauliflower florets,
1/4 cup each of Green peas and Carrots,
few Pearl onions,
1 peeled and cubed Potato,
Few strips of red bell pepper.
To season:
(If kids wouldn't like whole spices to bite in the dish, powder all these except Bay leaves instead if you like) 1 tbsp oil and 1 tbsp ghee, 2 Bay leaves, 1" Cinnamon/Dalchini stick, 1 green chilly,(optional but for taste) 2 cloves, 2 Whole green Cardamoms, crushed lightly or 1/4 tsp powdered, 1 onion sliced, Spices: 2 tsp Cumin seeds powder, 1/2 tsp good quality Turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp more Chilli pd, salt and Lemon juice to taste.
To make Khichadi
Heat oil and ghee in a small pressure cooker or pressure pan. Add all the seasoning ingredients one by one, fry until onions are slightly golden. Add Veggies, saute for few mins. Add both dals, saute and add rice and saute for few minutes. Add salt and spices to it, add enough water and mix well. I added about 3 cups or 1" above the mixture. Use your judgment when adding water for the type of rice you use, can't give you exact amount of liquid. Khichadi should be little wet, not very dry when it's done.Turn down the heat to low (low heat is very important so you don't burn the bottom of the cooker or overcook the dish), cover the lid of pressure cooker and let it cook for 1 or 2 whistles or 3-5 mins after the pressure locks in. Open the cooker lid when are able to and gently mix, adjust the spices and salt. Serve with plain Yogurt.
