Recipe for making millet khichdi
First step- To make millet khichdi, you have to take about 1/2 cup of millet. To add it, use 1 handful of rice and 1 handful of washed moong dal. To apply tadka, asafoetida, ghee, cumin, 1 pinch of turmeric and salt as per taste are required.
Second step- First of all, clean the millet and grind it slightly. In ancient times, millet was lightly soaked and ground in a mortar. Due to which the taste of millet khichdi was very good. Now if you do not have a mortar, soak the millet in water for 5-6 hours and after draining the water, rotate it in the mixer only once.
Third step- Now add millet, moong dal, rice and salt and turmeric in the cooker and put it on gas. Put 2 cups of water in the cooker and cook the khichdi for about 3-4 whistles. After 1 whistle, reduce the gas flame and let it whistle for 2-3 more whistles.
Fourth step- Heat ghee in a pan and prepare tadka for khichdi. When ghee is hot, add asafoetida and cumin seeds. When these things are lightly roasted, add finely chopped green chillies or 2 broken red chillies. Now pour the prepared tadka over the khichdi and serve.
Fifth step- You can also apply this tadka to whole khichdi. After applying the tadka, cook the khichdi for 5 more minutes so that the flavor of the tadka gets absorbed properly in the entire khichdi. Serve hot millet khichdi.
