Some important points i would like to share with you on khichdi recipe. 1. Take a pressure cooker and add the dal to it. We have used toor dal, but many people use a combination of moong dal, green moong dal or masoor dal. 2. We have added tomatoes and onions to our khichdi recipe but you can add your own choice of vegetables like green peas, cauliflower and potatoes. 3. It’s best to make the khichdi slightly mushy by adding little extra water while pressure cooking. 4. When pressure cooking the khichdi, don’t cook on high flame as the khichdi will get stuck at the bottom of the pressure cooker and give a burnt taste. So cook on a medium flame. 5. You can replace rice with broken wheat (lapsi or dalia) in this recipe to make it healthier.
Make sure you top your dal khichdi with generous amounts of melted ghee.
