Khichdi For Babies: If you are preparing khichdi for babies, then add little more water to make it extra soft. Alternatively, mix some plain curd with it before feeding it to baby. Directions:

  2. step-2Wash them in water for 3-4 times.
  3. step-3Drain and transfer them to pressure cooker (3-5 liter capacity). Add turmeric powder, 1-teaspoon of oil, 3½-cups water and salt. Mix well and taste the water for salt; add more if required. If you like very soft khichdi (like thick gravy), add 4 cups water.

Carefully open the lid, add ghee and mix well. Moong Dal Khichdi is ready, serve it with gujarati kadhi and papad.

  2. Hi thanks for sharing this khichdri recipe. I really like it and used to have it a lot. Since marriage Iv been making just regular mung daal khichdri which is nice but honestly I prefer this one, it’s very soothing and delicious especially when ghee or kadhi is added it’s so yummy.

  3. Appreciate it ! Made my first khichdi while away from home 🙂

Cooking Tips

If your curry or dal turns salty, just add diced half-raw potato in it and boil for 5 minutes. Potato will absorb the extra salt. More Tips…
