Ingredients
Grains & Legumes
Vegetables
Spices
- 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
- 1 pinch Pepper black, ground
- 1 tsp Asafoetida hing
- 1 pinch Turmeric turmeric powder, haldi
- 1 leaf Curry Leaves
Other
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 2 tbsp Clarified Butter ghee
- 2 cup Water or as needed
Instructions
Preparation
- Soak the green gram in a bowl of water for 20 minutes.
Sautéing Vegetables
- Heat the ghee in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter. Add finely chopped onions and sauté until lightly browned.
- Add the finely chopped potato, carrot, tomato, and green chili. Sauté for a few minutes until the vegetables slightly soften.
- Stir in the curry leaves, asafoetida, turmeric powder, and salt. Add a splash of water, cover, and cook until the vegetables are tender.
Combining Ingredients
- Add the soaked green gram to the pan. Stir well and cook for about 2 minutes until the gram is tender.
- Meanwhile, rinse the flattened rice under cold water in a colander until it is softened. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the khichdi from becoming sticky.
- Add the rinsed flattened rice to the pan. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Finishing Touches
- Sprinkle in the ground black pepper. Saute for a minute, stirring gently.
- Drizzle with ghee and cover the pan. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the khichdi is heated through and the flavors have melded.
Serving
- Garnish with fresh coriander leaves (optional).
- Serve hot.
