I use to cook plain masala khichdi with rice and a mix of four lentils. khichdi has always been India’s the most common food in every household. It is one of my father's fav dishes but I too like this very much. Everyone has it's own version of khichdi. Mine is a plain version of khichdi with lots of masala/ lspices in it. It is like a complete meal in just one bowl for me 😀❤️

Steps

1

Take rice and all four dal, wash these nicely and seperately. now soak in different bowls for 10 minutes at least.
2

Now arrange all the ingredients require for khichdi. Keep everything handy.
3

Heat a cooker at low flame. Put ghee. once it is hot or melted add cumin and dhania seeds followed with bay leaves, black cardamom, Cinnamon sticks,and green chilies. Add garlic paste and grated ginger to it. Mix well. when the raw small of ginger and garlic are gone then add all spices in the forms of powder along with salt.

When spices leave ghee, put rice and daal in it ang give it a good mix. now keep bhoonoeing till rice and dal are little dry and crisp. Now take 6-7 cup water and coriander leaves, mix everything well. I will not pressure cook the khichdi now. just cover the cooker with it's lid but remove whistle and gaskette. leave a littke space to release air. Now let the khichdi cook on low flame.

When the khichdi is almost done. add kasoori methi and garam masala powder to it. Mix, Cover and cook little more.

Heat 1 tablespoon ghee in another pan. let splutter 1 tsp cumin seeds. Add Red chilli. switch off the gas. let it cool and then add 1 tsp kashmiri lal mirch powder. Pour this on khichdi and garnish with some coriander leaves. Now the aromatic masala khichdi is ready to serve and eat.
