BAJRA KHICHDI

WHISKAFFAIR'S

Add bajra to a bowl and rinse well with water. Drain well.

STEP 1

Transfer it to a mixer grinder jar and pulse it to make a coarse powder.

STEP 2

Transfer the bajra powder to a bowl and cover it with water.

STEP 3

Wait for 10-12 seconds. The husk will start to float on top of the water. Gently drain the water along with the husk and repeat this process 2-3 times to get rid of all the husk from the bajra.

STEP 4

Heat ghee in a 3-liter pressure cooker over medium-high heat.

STEP 5

Once the ghee is hot, add asafetida, cumin seeds, ginger, and green chilies and saute for 10-12 seconds.

STEP 6

Add the cleaned bajra to the cooker along with moong dal, rice, salt, and water. Mix everything well.

STEP 7

Close the lid of the cooker. Pressure cook the khichdi for one whistle on high heat. Now reduce the heat to low and cook for 15 minutes.

STEP 8

Remove the cooker from heat and let the pressure release naturally. Once the pressure is released, open the lid and mix the khichdi nicely using a wooden spoon, wooden whisk, or wire whisk.

STEP 9

Add some more water if the khichdi looks thick and cook for a minute. Check for salt and add more if needed. Transfer the hot khichdi to serving plates and serve hot.
