Mixed Daal Khichdi

#riceisthebest
Daal Khichdi is a traditional rice preparation using various daals and rice with an aromatic tempering. You can find umpteen number of recipes for this on the net. Nowadays, this dish is available in almost all restaurants too! It has a subtle taste and is good for digestion, especially if a person is sick. Though at such times, less spices should be used.
For preparing the daal khichdi, some use yellow moong daal or green split moong daal or even just toor daal. In this recipe, I have used a combination of three daals and tempered the khichdi twice! This gives it a wonderful flavour! The daal khichdi is cooked to a mushy consistency and is quite different from any pulao or biryani. I have added a few green peas and carrots to it, though other vegetables as per choice can be added too. This just increases the health quotient of the khichdi.

Open the lid only after the pressure has released naturally. Stir well with a ladle and set aside.

Dal Khichdi ข้าวต้มอินเดีย Dal Khichdi ข้าวต้มอินเดีย
Childhood memories: Sunday was family day. Our traditional Sunday lunch would always include a fresh deep fried fish and Hasmo. This would be served on a thaal which is a big silver plate. “Hasmo” for us means mixing everything together. We’d mix the dhaal, rice , roti , fried chillies , kachumber (onion salad) together in the middle of the thaal and then make a tiny space to put the hot charcoal and then pour hot ghee over the mixture. We would then cover all with another big plate to smoke it. Once smoked we would all enjoy and eat together. It is a family food that I really miss!I would call this dish that I made today as ‘Hasmo’ but other people call it ‘Dal Khichdi’ or ‘Khichdi’This is how I made mine. M.A.DFoodie -
