Palak Khichdi

It is a great healthy recipe esp. when one wants to do a quick thing without too much of hassles. God for gut health also

Ingredients

  • One cup rice
  • Four five tablespoons chana dal
  • One bowl of Boiled and Pureed palak (spinach)
  • Half a cup of onion slices
  • Two green chilies  slit
  • One teaspoon Grated ginger
  • Three cups Water
  • Salt to taste
  • Pinch of Asafetida
  • Half a teaspoon of turmeric
  • Two teaspoon Ghee
  • One teaspoon cumin seeds

Method

1)  Wash and soak Rice and Dal for 30min

2)  Pressure cook Dal and Rice with salt, turmeric and asafetida with 3 cups water.

3)  In a separate pan add ghee, cumin seeds, ginger, and onion. Sauté for some time

4)  Add Pureed spinach to the pan and sauté for another 2min

5)  Add the cooked Dal and Rice mix it well and roast for some time till you get a smooth consistency

The other one-pot method is put the seasoning in the pressure cooker and palak puree and then add the soaked dal and rice. You can pressure cook everything together. It tastes equally good but drizzle some ghee over it before you have the same
