Mixed Dal Khichdi

I am back…after a long time. When I started this blog, I meant to write only special recipes. So I had never thought that I would end up writing this one. But here I am and I am sure it’s worth putting here :)

We both love khichdi and I always try to bring some variations to this simple recipe. I have tried different veggies and dry fruits, but never played with basic ingredients – Dal and Rice. This little twist turned out simply delicious that why it's here :D

Serves 2-4

1/3 cup chana dal

1 cup potato cut in small pieces

1 cup onions, sliced

½ cup green peas

½ tsp turmeric powder

½ tsp red chili powder

6. Add veggies mixture to soaked dal-rice

7. Add 5 cup water and cook khichdi (I pressure cooked it, but if you cook outside it tastes far better)
