Rinse off the Rice grains very well with water. Keep it aside for drying.
Rinse the Moong Dal in water and keep it aside.
Chop the vegetables into small pieces and wash well in water.
Heat a Pan or Kadhai and dry roast the rice and dal for 3-4 minutes. Frying the rice and moong dal will enhance the flavor of the Khichdi.
Now take a pressure cooker. Heat some ghee or oil and temper it with a bay leaf and cumin seeds.
Add the potatoes and cauliflower first and fry those till slightly golden brown. This will take around 3-4 minutes depending on the quantity used.
After that, add the rest of the vegetables. Fry them for about 4 minutes with occasional stirring.
Then goes in the salt, turmeric and, coriander and cumin powder.
Add the ginger and garlic paste to the cooker. Mix all well with the vegetables.
After about a minute or two, add the dry roasted rice and dal in the cooker. Mix all the ingredients very nicely and carefully.
Finally, after a minute of mixing, pour the water. The amount of water should be double as compared with the rice and dal.
Cover the cooker with lid and let it cook for 1-2 whistles. Turn off the flame and allow the cooker to release all its pressure on its own. After that only, open the cooker.
The Khichdi is ready to serve. Enjoy the awesome meal with any of the suitable options mentioned above. :)Please do try this recipe and let me know in the comments section below how this turned out.
