Instructions
 

Sauté Aromatics

  • Heat ghee in a pressure cooker. Add cumin seeds and asafoetida (if using). Once the seeds splutter, add ginger and green chilies. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Add Onion and Sprouts

  • Add the chopped onion and sauté until lightly browned (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in the sprouts and cook for 2 minutes.

Add Rice and Water

  • Add the rinsed rice, turmeric powder, and salt. Mix well. Pour in 2 cups of water.

Pressure Cook

  • Close the lid of the pressure cooker and cook for one whistle. Reduce heat to low and let the pressure release naturally for 5-10 minutes.

Garnish and Serve

  • Fluff the khichri with a fork. Garnish with fried onions and fresh cilantro. Serve hot with yogurt or pickle.

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Perfect Sprout Khichri

  • Soak your sprouts: Soaking the sprouts for at least 2-3 hours before cooking helps them cook evenly and improves their texture.
  • Adjust spice levels: Feel free to adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference.
  • Don't overcook: Overcooking can make the khichri mushy. Ensure the rice is cooked through but still retains some bite.
  • Experiment with additions: Add other vegetables like carrots, peas, or potatoes for extra nutrition and flavor.
