Khichdi is usually a simple one at that and to give it a lovely look and make it presentable to kids, it has to be something Masaledar. And that's what exactly I have tried here in this one pot dish. And let me tell you that it was very well received by them. Seeing them gobble it up, I was happy and grateful to the Almighty. It's actually all in one dish. There is no tension of making more. So sit back and relax with this refreshing and beautiful one pot meal that's a great treat to your loved ones.
Happy Cooking Everyone!

Steps

30-35 minutes

1

Wash and soak Rice along with Daal. Keep aside. In a pot, heat Oil or Ghee and add Caraway Seeds, Cardamom and Cinnamon. Fry for a minute and add Ginger garlic paste along with the chopped Onions. Saute them until lightly browned.
2

Now add finely chopped Tomatoes and all the spices mentioned along with Green Chillies and Coriander Leaves. Mix well and cook on a low heat until the Oil starts separating from the sides of the pot.
3

Finally drain Rice really well and add to it. Mix well and roast for about 2-3 minutes. And add water accordingly. It depends upon the Rice you are using. Generally for a cup of Rice soaked, 1 1/2 cups of water is required. Keep the heat on a high for the first 5 minutes. Keep stirring in between. After about 5 minutes, reduce the heat to a low. Cover and cook until done.
4

In between keep mixing gently once or twice just for an even colour. It gets done in 20 minutes or so. After done, gently fluff it up and serve hot immediately with endless serving options to choose from. I had served it with Fryums, Ghee and Homemade Lemon Pickle.

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
