Mugachya Daalichi
Khichdi(Moong Daal Khichdi)
Moong Daal Khichdi is one soul comforting food and
transports you to good times. All Maharashtrian households are familiar with
this yummy recipe. It is of thick porridgy consistency and forms part of baby’s
first weaning meals. Mothers will always dish out this highly nutritious,
easily digestible soul food when anybody in the family is ill or recovering
after a bout of flu or stomach upset. I love moong daal khichdi and I make it
when I am in need of some soul food. Here, I am posting the pheeka(bland)
version of moong daal khichdi which has very few ingredients. There is also a
masala(spicy) version of moong daal khichdi and you can make it with vegetables
of your choice. The must haves with moong daal khichdi are pure ghee, papad,
chutney and pickle.
Ingredients
Rice – 1 cup
Moong Daal(Green Gram Lentil) – 1/4th cup
Turmeric Powder – 1/4th teaspoon
Cumin Seeds – 1/4th teaspoon
Salt – As per taste
Water – Approx 750 ml
Method
Wash rice and moong daal. Mix turmeric powder, salt, cumin
seeds, water with rice and moong daal and pressure cook for about 15 minutes.
Keep the cooker on low to medium flame. Serve the moong daal khichdi with ghee,
chutney and other accompaniments.
