VegetableMasala Khichdi is a one-pot dish made using lentils, rice, spices, and vegetables. Make it in an instant pot or a traditional stovetop pressure cooker using my easy recipe.
To make masala khichdi in a pressure cooker, add the spices, moong dal, rice, vegetables, and spices to the pressure cooker. Add 4 cups of water and stir gently. Pressure cook for 1 whistle on high heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 12 minutes. Remove the cooker from the heat and let the pressure release naturally. Open the lid and stir well. Serve hot with ghee, green chutney, yogurt, and papad (poppadum).This recipe can be easily scaled. I used my 6-quart instant pot to make masala khichdi for 4 people. If you are doubling the recipe, then use an 8-quart instant pot. The time of cooking will not change.Adjust the green chilies as per your taste.
