Gujarati style Khichdi

Khichdi is a lentil and rice dish and traditionally very runny in consistency. However at home we have it made like normal rice. Here is how I make it.

Ingredients: 1/4 cup split green moong dal

1/2 cup rice

1 and 1/2 cup water

3 cloves

1 tbsp ghee

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

Salt to taste

Method

Wash your moong dal and rice 2 to 3 times until the water is no longer cloudy and leave to soak in clean water for 30 minutes.

Drain the rice and moong dal and add into a cooking pot with the water, cloves, ghee, turmeric powder and salt.

Bring this to a boil. When it begins to boil allow this to simmer on a medium to low heat heat with the lid on for round 15 to 20 minutes. I usually leave the lid on with the gas turned off for a further 5 minutes.
