Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup daliya - broken wheat
  • ¼ cup moong dal
  • 2 tbsp ghee
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • Pinch of hing
  • 1 dry red chilli
  • Few curry leaves
  • ½ tsp ginger paste
  • ¼ tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp chilli powder
  • ½ tsp garam masala
  • Salt to taste
  • ½ cup carrot
  • 2 tbsp green peas
  • ½ cup potatoes
  • 1 chopped tomatoes
  • 2.5 cup water

Instructions

  • Wash and soak daliya and moong dal for 20 minutes. Drain water and keep it aside
  • Turn on Geek robocook on strong sauté mode.
  • Heat ghee or oil. Add mustard seed, cumin seeds, a pinch of hing, dry red chilli, curry leaves and ginger paste. Sauté for a minute.
  • Then add soaked daliya and moong dal mixture. Sauté it for 3 minutes.
  • Add turmeric powder, red chilli powder, garam masala, and salt. Also add chopped carrots, potatoes, peas, and tomatoes. Mix well.
  • Add 2.5 cup water and mix well.
  • Cover the electric pressure cooker with a locking lid.
  • Cancel sauté mode and select the option of khichdi and set the cooker on quick taste or under high pressure.
  • Once the electric pressure cooker beeps and on the display screen you see LO:00, turn off the cooker.
  • Let the pressure release naturally.
  • Open the lid. Fada khichdi is ready.
  • Serve khichdi with raita and papad.

Notes

  • The proportion of moong dal should be half of the broken wheat (daliya)
  • Ghee gives a nice flavor to khichdi.
  • Sauté daliya and moong dal with ghee helps to puff up daliya easily.
  • If you made fada khichdi in a regular cooker, then add 3 cup water instead of 2.5 cup water.
