Traditional Gujarati Khichdi

In continuation of my gujurati meal experiment, I tried the gujju khichdi which turned out really well (if I must admit so myself)

Ingredients
2 cup moong dal
1 cup basmati or plain rice
3 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)
7-8 whole black pepper-corns
1 cup onions - finely chopped
1 cup potatoes - finely diced
3 tsp turmeric powder
2 green chillies - chopped
2 tbsp cumin seeds (jeera)
salt - to taste (about 1 1/2-2 tbsp)
lemon juice - to taste (about 2 tbsp)


Take the rice and moong dal and wash them under running water for a couple of times. Then take a pressure cooker, add add 3 tbsp ghee and add the cumin seeds, black pepper-corns, onions, and green chillies. Saute for 2 mins, then add the diced potatoes and the rice and moong dal mixture. Add in the turmeric powder and saute again so everything is mixed well. Now add the required amount of water(I generally use the ratio of 1 cup to 2 cups of water to make it nice and gooyee), cover with the lid and cok it for 4-5 whistles.

Serve the Khichdi and Kadi hot with pickle or with a papad! Enjoy the taste of a traditional gujarati meal:)
