Answer 1

Answer:

1 Wash and soak the rice and dal. Rinse both in a strainer thoroughly, then place in a bowl and cover with water, letting it sit for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, drain the rice and dal and set aside.

2 Heat the oil. Do this in the pan of a pressure cooker over medium heat.

If you prefer, you can use an equivalent amount of ghee for this step, instead of oil.

Use a medium-size pressure cooker, about 5 liters (1 US gal) (5 quarts).

3 Add mustard seeds and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the cumin seeds. Once they start to sizzle, proceed to the next step.

4 Add the whole black pepper, curry leaves and hing.

5 Add the chopped onion.

6 Add the ginger-garlic paste.

7 Add vegetables.

8 Add the turmeric, chili powder, coriander, and garam masala.

9 Add the soaked, drained rice and dal.

10 Add the water and bring to a boil.

11 Close the pressure cooker and cook on high heat.

12 Turn off the flame and allow the cooker to cool down completely.

13 After a few minutes, open the pressure cooker. The water should have completely absorbed into the khichdi by now.
