Method:
Start by washing and soaking moong dal and basmati rice for 1-2 hours. Then, in a pressure cooker, mix the soaked moong dal, basmati rice, turmeric powder, salt, and water. Cook them for 2-3 whistles on a medium-low flame.
For the tadka (tempering), heat a pan and add ghee, oil, jeera (cumin seeds), dry red chili, and hing (asafoetida). Let it sizzle, then add chopped onion and sauté until golden brown. Add chopped garlic, followed by chopped ginger and green chili. Divide the tadka into two pans.
Basic Khichdi:
In the pan with sautéed onion and garlic, add chopped tomatoes, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and garam masala. Sauté the mixture.
Combine the cooked rice and dal mixture with the tadka. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
In a small pan, add ghee, jeera, chopped garlic, hing, and red chili powder. Sauté until golden brown.
Pour the tadka over the khichdi, add chopped coriander, and your basic dal khichdi is ready to serve.
Palak Khichdi:
In the pan with sautéed onion and garlic, add blanched palak (spinach) puree and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add jeera powder, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, salt, and garam masala. Cook the spices.
Add chopped tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes.
Combine the cooked rice and dal mixture with the tadka.
In a small pan, add ghee, jeera, chopped garlic, hing, and red chili powder. Sauté until golden brown.
Pour the tadka over the khichdi, and your palak dal khichdi is ready to serve.
These two variations offer distinct flavors - the basic khichdi has a rich blend of spices, while the palak khichdi brings the goodness of spinach. Enjoy these wholesome and flavorful dishes as a hearty meal, perfect for any occasion. They not only taste great but also provide essential nutrients, making them a healthy and satisfying choice for your family.
