Moong Dal Khichadi / Rice cooked with split yellow gram
Moong Dal Khichadi (Rice cooked with split yellow gram) :
(All ingredients are underlined)
Mix and wash 1 cup rice with 3/4 cup moong dal (yellow split gram)*. In a vessel, heat 1 tbsp oil and add 1 tsp cumin seeds, a pinch of asfoetida, 1 tsp turmeric and 4-5 curry leaves. Now add the prewashed rice and dal. Stir fry for 2 minutes and then add 4 cups water (if you want your Khichadi a little on the dryer side, then add 3 cups water), salt to taste, and 2 tsp cumin powder. **Bring to boil and cook in a pressure cooker. Keep for 1 whistle and reduce the gas to low for 2 minutes. Open the lid after the pressure is released and serve hot with Kadhi, papad, and pickle.
*You may also use 3/4 cup unpeeled green moong dal, which is healthier. Or you may also choose to use 1/3 cup peeled and 1/3 cup unpeeled dal.
** Try adding 1/4 cup vegetables like carrots, string beans, or green peas too after adding the water.
