Traditional ‘Khichuri’ is made using ‘Gobindbhog Rice’ which is extremely popular among Bengali’s. It’s dull small grain rice however, you can use any small grain rice to make this version.
Roast the Lentil and Rice:
Heat a large pot.
Add moong dal and roast it over medium-low flames for 2 minutes. (this brings out the nutty lentil aromas and the dal will turn slightly brown-pink).
Remove the roasted dal and add rice to the same pot.
Roast the rice for 2 minutes and transfer to the roasted dal bowl.
Soak the roasted dal and rice mix in 2 cups water.
Bengali Khichuri Process
Roast the Veggies:
In the same pan, add 1tsp vegetable oil (you can add ghee too) and roast the cauliflower until light brown (takes 2 minutes).
Remove and keep aside.
