Vegetable Khichdi
Khichdi is basically a dish of rice and lentils,my favorite comfort food that lulls me in to a sense of all'z well ! Also spelt as khichri, khichadi, khichadee it has its own regional versions across India with choice vegetables and lentils added to suit their palate. Generally veggies like cauliflower,peas and beans are added to the lentils-rice and cooked till mushy with very little or no spices. That is the reason why sick people and even infants are given the dish because it is easily digestible and has a soothing effect on the tummy. I My version has bengal gram for the lentils with cauliflower and beans for the veggies. Grated coconut and chopped coriander give the finishing touch to this true comfort dish ! I have tempered the dish with mustard though it is optional.  What goes:- Rice - 1 cupBengal Gram - 1/2 cup - can use moong dalCauliflower,Beans - 1/2 cup (washed n chopped)- add peas,carrot or choice veggiesClarified Butter - 1 to 2 tspMustard Seeds - 1 tspTurmeric Powder - 1 tspSalt - to tasteAsafoetida - a pinch or twoBlack Peppercorn - 1 tspGreen Chillis - 2 (halved n sliced) - to tasteCloves - 3 to 4Coriander - few sprigs (finely chopped)Grated Coconut - 2 to3 tbsp - optionalWater - as required My Cluttered Workspace  How:- Heat a thick bottomed pan and drizzle the ghee, allow mustard seeds to splutter. Add turmeric powder and stir in the washed lentils and rice. Fry it for a few minutes before adding the cut vegetables and the required water. Sprinkle the asafoetida and let it cook for 10-15 minutes. Now add the green chillis,pepper corns,cloves and required salt. Mix well and again cook it till done. It is imperative the mix becomes mushy.    related searches : Vegetable
