Here's How To Make Rajasthani Bajre Ki Khichdi
You might have seen a lot of khichadi recipes. Today the one I am going to show is made with bajra. Its quite warm but nutritious and a winter delight.
I am going to cook everything in a pressure cooker. So let’s turn on the flame.
Add a spoon of oil. Once the oil is nice and hot add 1 spoon of cumin seed
Add bay leaves, cinnamon stick, and 2 cloves.
Let this cook for a few seconds.
Add a spoon of ginger garlic paste and mix it well.
Add 1 finely chopped onions and cook them well
Add 2 chopped tomatoes.
Reduce the flame and let the tomatoes softener
Meanwhile chop the veggies: beans and carrot.
Add these veggies into it and mix it well. Also, add green peas. You can add any vegetable of your choice.
Soak the 1 gram bajra for 6-7 hours. And the soaked bajra into the cooker.
What is a khichadi if there is no daal in it.
So I also add a half cup of soaked moong daal. You can use any daal of your choice like tur daal or green moong daal.
Give it a nice mix. Its time for a seasoning spices.
Add 1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tsp Garam Masala Powder
1 tsp Coriander & Cumin Seed Powder
1/2 tsp Red Chilli Powder and two chopped green chilies.
And salt to taste and mix it well.
Add the 500ml - 750ml water to it.
It takes a lot of water because a bajra takes a lot of time to cook.
After adding the water wait for 4-5 whistles. Let it cool down for 20-30 minutes and then open it.
Add some ghee to it for more flavor and also a little bit of coriander leaves.
Plate it and serve.
Rajasthani Bajre Ki Khichdi is a superfood and it is rich in iron, protein and many nutrients.
Do give try to this recipe.
