Hi and welcome to my video! This week we are making some comfort food. There's a
version of this dish in almost every region of India. It's very easily
digestible and uses very simple ingredients that you might already have
in your pantry. If you haven't guessed already I am sharing a recipe for Khichdi.
Khichdi is best described as a salty porridge made from rice and lentils.
Sometimes it is made from other things like bajra or sabudana but for this
version I am sticking to short grain white rice and masoor dal, because they
both cook up really quickly and easily. Here's a bit of trivia for you: the
British dish known as kedgeree actually originated from Khichdi and if
you're a fan of Downton Abbey then you know that this is the first dish
mentioned by Mrs. Patmore way back in season 1 episode 1. Now, before we get
started please show my channel some love and give this video a thumbs up and hit

Monday. Now once you have all your ingredients lined up, go ahead and heat
up some ghee or oil in your pressure cooker on high heat then add the whole
cumin seeds to the hot oil. Or you can just add them from the beginning and
wait for them to crackle. Once they're crackling away it's time to add the
green chillies followed by the ginger and garlic. If you think the oil is too
hot at this point go ahead and turn it down a little bit and make sure to keep
these ingredients moving. We want them to cook and to become aromatic but we don't
want them to burn. And once you can smell their beautiful aromas go ahead and add
the turmeric powder followed by the red lentils and the rice. And I would like to
say that both the rice and the red lentils have each been soaked for 30
minutes before. I would highly recommend not missing this step. There are a lot of
benefits to pre-soaking pulses as well as rice but aside from that, it's really
going to help in the cooking process. Then stir to combine everything and add
a little bit of salt. You don't have to add a lot at this stage because you can
always adjust it once everything is cooked,
and the next step is to add water. The ratio of water is one to three-and-half
and in this instance the one refers to the combined amount of rice and
lentils. I had a cup and a half of combined rice and lentils so I used five
and a quarter cups of water. And that's water that I boiled in my kettle. That's
gonna help speed up the cooking process as well. As you could see this was
already bubbling away and that's because I used water that was already hot. Then
go ahead and shut the pressure cooker and allow this to cook on high for 3
whistles. That's what a whistle looks like right there, and in case you need
any further clarification you can check out this video I made on how to make a
simple dal and use your pressure cooker without detriment.
After the third whistle, go ahead and turn down the heat to low. This will
give you enough time to work on the tempering for your Khichdi and you only
need a couple of things for this. A whole red chilli, some curry leaves, and about a
teaspoon of coriander seeds. Start out by heating some ghee or oil in a little
skillet on high heat and just add in all of the tempering ingredients. This is an
optional step but it does add an extra layer of deliciousness to your Khichdi.
And even though this is a simple Khichdi, it's not basic. Just because this recipe
isn't complicated, doesn't mean we're going to skip steps or take any
shortcuts. By this time, all the steam should be released from your pressure
cooker so go ahead and open it up and take a minute to appreciate the vibrant
and beautiful color of this dish. You can adjust the salt if you need to at this
stage and then add the tempering right on top and combine it into the dish. This
oil that's been infused with these roasted spices is going to give such a
depth of flavor to this Khichdi and if you're in need of some culinary love
because you haven't been feeling well, you're gonna feel thoroughly comforted
when you taste this. You can certainly eat this on its own but my favorite way
to serve this is alongside some tomato salad, some plain yogurt, and mango pickle
or aam ka achaar. The complete recipe as well as the recipe for this very simple tomato
salad will be up on the blog so you can check that out if you need to otherwise
that's it! This gooey porridgey goodness is the perfect recipe for when
you're feeling just a little under the weather, and if you're wondering what
happened to that red chili I saved it for this shot right here. There it is
perfect for nibbling, and as usual thank you so much for watching and for
supporting this channel. See you next week, buh bye!
