Red Rice Khichdi

Instructions

1. Rinse the red rice and moong dal together under running water until the water runs clear.
2. In a pressure cooker, add the rinsed rice and dal, water, turmeric powder, salt, ginger, and green chilies.
3. Close the lid and cook on medium heat for 3 whistles. Turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally.
4. Open the lid and stir the khichdi. If it’s too thick, you can add a little more water to adjust the consistency.
5. In a small pan, heat ghee or oil and temper with cumin seeds, if using. Pour this over the khichdi.
6. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.
