INSTANT POT® KHICHDI



Instant Pot® Khichdi image

Two types of legumes, brown basmati rice, and goda masala are cooked in an Instant Pot® for a traditionally flavored Indian classic. Goda masala is a coconut-based seasoning, which gives this dish a fragrant and tasty edge. Khichdi is easy to digest, so it is nice for detox or when you want something light. Leftovers warm up nicely with a touch of water. This is a simple recipe; some cooks like to add vegetables to the saute.

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup brown basmati rice
½ cup whole green mung beans
¼ cup split yellow dal
1 ½ teaspoons cumin seeds
1 ½ teaspoons brown mustard seeds
8 tablespoons ghee, divided
1 shallot, sliced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger root
1 tablespoon goda masala
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt
6 cups water

Steps:

  • Rinse rice and mung beans. Cover with water and soak for 15 minutes. Rinse split yellow dal and add to the rice and mung beans to soak for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Saute cumin and mustard seeds in 2 tablespoons ghee until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add shallot and ginger and cook until shallot is tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the drained rice and legumes; stir to combine. Turn off Saute function.

INSTANT POT KHICHDI



Instant Pot Khichdi image

Khichdi is a comforting and mild South Asian stew typically made with lentils and rice. This version is made with long-grain rice and yellow moong dal (or split mung beans), softened tomatoes and onion, then flavored with a cumin, coriander and turmeric, but each family has their own recipe. To bulk it up, you could add some grated carrot or zucchini with the onion, or wilt baby spinach in at the end. But topped with a drizzle of ghee, some plain yogurt and fresh cilantro, it's a warming, homey meal just as it is.

1/2 cup petit yellow moong dal
1/2 cup long-grain white rice
2 tablespoons ghee, plus more melted ghee for drizzling
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped (about 3/4 cup)
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons coriander seeds
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 small plum tomatoes, chopped
Kosher salt
Yogurt and cilantro, for serving

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the dal and rice. Add water until covered.
