Recipe Cuisine: Indian; Category: Lunch/Dinner
Prep time: 20 - 25 mts; Cooking time: 20 mts
Serves 2 - 3
Take Rice, Tur and Moong dhals, wash well
Soak in hot water for 30 to 45 minutes
Drumstick leaves cleaned, washed and drained
Take a pressure cooker, heat with oil and ghee, season hing and turmeric powders, mustard, jeera and methi
After the mustard seeds splutter, add the red chillies too, so that they won't turn blackish
Now add the onions and garlic pods, flames on the lowest, saute well
Now add the chopped tomatoes, continue sauteeing
Add sambar powder
Add the moringa leaves too and …..
Now add the washed and soaked rice and dhals
Salt to taste
Add 4 cups of hot water, cover the lid, and after 1 whistle, keep the flames on the lowest and leave for 8 - 10 minutes. Let the pressure release by itself,.
This is how it looks after opening, the whole house wafting with the mixed flavors!!
If need be, pour 1/2 cup hot water (I didn't have to) and mash well. Like Venpongal, this too proved to be a real delicacy, so soothing and comforting for the throat!
Serve this power-packed Khichdi with chips, papad, raita or khadi!!!
