- Tomato-Rice-Toor Daal Khichadi (Above) & Green Beans-Rice-Masoor Daal Pulav (Below)
Makes about 1½ packed cups of khichadi/pulav (about 2-3 servings depending on your toddler’s appetite)
¼ cup basmati rice
¼ cup daal of your choice (I have used Split Pigeon Peas i.e. Toor Daal in the first picture and Split Lentils i.e. Split Masoor Daal in the second picture above)
1 cup water
½ small tomato, diced (or 2-4 tbsp vegetables like chopped spinach, peas, corn or tiny chunks of potatoes, carrots, green beans, etc that are ok for your toddler)
¼ tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
¼ tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
a pinch garam masala
salt
fresh cilantro/coriander, finely chopped
1 small garlic clove, minced
½ tsp ghee (clarified butter)
Combine all the ingredients above and cook covered in a small stainless steel vessel placed inside a pressure cooker.
Cover the lid of the pressure cooker and bring the it to a full pressure, letting it whistle for 3 times, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 5 mins.
Alternatively, you can cook the khichadi stove top over medium heat by combining all the ingredients in a small pot till everything is cooked and most of the water is absorbed.
After the pressure cooker cools down, remove the vessel and gently mix the cooked daal-rice khichadi to combine the vegetables that have settled on top.
Garnish with a few drops of ghee and feed your little one at a warm-cool temperature or let your toddler try and eat.
