Moong Khichdi
An easy way to cook one quick nutritious meal:
Take 1 cup rice and 1 cup moong dal (yellow) in a bowl.
Wash it and pour 1 cup water. Keep aside.
In a pressure cooker, add 1 spoon ghee, salt to taste, half spoon cumin (jeera), 2 spoons soya mini nuggets(optional), heat and stir. Use the big burner.
Add 1 cup water as soon as the ghee is heated.
Add the rice-dal-water mix.
Add a pinch of (packaged) pulao/biryani masala powder (not garam masala) and half spoon of sugar.
Pour 3 cups water into this. Stir and close the lid.
After 2 whistles, turn off the burner.
The exact proportion of rice:dal:water is 1:1:5.
This is suitable for kids, single parents or bachelors. In place of cumin, pieces of onion can also be added. If the masala is hot and spicy, no need to add sugar.
