hello everyone welcome to cdc today
i'm preparing home style comforting healthy warm light and delicious
moong dal khichdi recipe which one can prepare in less than 15
minutes and can be enjoyed in lunch or dinner so let's get started in a bowl add any kind
of white rice followed by split green gram now add water and wash it nicely with your hands
and rub the grains against each other it helps to get rid of dirt and extra starch wash it for
three to four times or until water turns out clear consumption of these two ingredients together
provides high level of nutrition to your body and makes for a low fat high fiber protein
rich meal which also aids in weight loss once rinsed properly soak it for 15 to 20 minutes though one can cook it directly after rinsing
but it is recommended to soak it before cooking soaking lentils increase the
mineral absorption rate of the body soaking also activate a compound called amylase
that breaks down complex starch in lentil and make them easy to digest the soaking process also
removes gas-causing compounds from the lentils now heat up a pressure cooker on
medium high heat and add ghee into it the addition of desi ghee does not
only makes this khichdi more flavorsome but also add in of ghee brings down the
glycemic index of rice which promotes weight loss ghee also helps to nudge the whole body
and also aids to better assimilation of foods if you are making this recipe for weight loss
then add only one teaspoon of ghee once key is hot add cumin seeds followed by asafoetida into it
then add black peppercorns and close into it once it starts to splutter add soaked dal and rice
into it i have strained almost all the water from the soaked dal and rice before adding it roast
lentil and rice for just about a minute then add salt i'm using rock salt here if you are using
regular salt then decrease the quantity by half at this stage you can also add
turmeric and other spices as well but i usually don't prefer to overload this dish
with numerous spices then add water give it a stir taste little bit of water to check if it needs
more salt if it tastes saltier than what you normally consume it is good to go now close
the lid and pressure cook it for three whistles once done turn off the flame and let the cooker
depressurize completely open the lid and mix it if your kachiri turns out to be little thick
then add hot water to loosen it or to attain the desired consistency do not add cold water as it
can ruin the mild nutty sweet flavor of the dish now to give the final touch in a tempering
pan add ghee once hot add cumin seeds followed by asafoetida into it once it
starts to splutter turn off the flame cool down the tadka by continuously stirring
for about 20 to 30 seconds once it cools down a bit add red chilli powder into it and mix it well
