Mung Daal Khichadi (Khichdi)

[HitzMillionaire]

Majavi gey - been craving khichri for ages, plus it's good for my diet - don't forget the papad with it!!

[paragpandit]

OMG! Where's the oil! This receipe will wake up my granny from her grave...

[aishoooo]

did u cook it on low, med, or high heat?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@aishoooo : The pressure cooker is always on a med-high and then allow it to whistle once and turn off the flame .... :)

[aishoooo]

You only watched the daal and rice, or have u left it to soak for an hour as well?

[fammumuskaan786]

nice

[JamilaHossain]

what can i substitute for asefoetida?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@JamilaHossain : Asafoetida (Hing) has a very distinct flavor and is there more for digestion that anything else. If you can't find it, feel free to skip it.

[aparnak002]

can i make it with chana dal?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@aparnak002

Khichadi is meant to be a light meal. Channa daal can be used but it will make the dish very heavy.

[mayyuiuhs]

Hey...is this the same as gujrathi khichdi..??

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@mayyuiuhs

This simple type of khichdi is made all over India, not only in Gujarat. We do have a Gujarati style "Masala Khichdi" - you can search for it on our channel or website.

[mandar0887]

very similar to the Maharshtrian 'varan bhat'. In Maharashtra however, khichadi is the same, but with a tadka (fodni) of mustard seeds OR whole cumins and ofcourse currey leaves....some people optionally add 'goda masala' for added flavour.

Add more veggies and you have 'Bisi Bele Bhat' from coastal Karnataka...

Cheers

[samdmiller]

Thanks for sharing the recipe. Did you use split, hulled mung beans or whole? Also where would I find a recipe for Gujarati soup that Khichadi is often served with -- I didn't quite get the name?

[bhaveshgrathod]

what u made?...something big missing in khichdi..ghee..khichdi without ghee

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@bhaveshgrathod

We pour it over the top.

[freakoutguitarsolo1]

i can't find asifoetida anywhere around here, i still never tried it... organic turmeric is also very hard to find. i made some today by heating up a quarter tsp of cumin seeds in some 1tablespoon of olive oil in the pot then add in everything else after the cumin seeds fry in the oil for a few minutes.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

@freakoutguitarsolo1

You can find asafoetida at your local Indian grocery store (if you have one) or try online at herbco (dot) com.

[smellsogoody]

@freakoutguitarsolo1 try iherb.com and search Starwest Botanicals.If you're a new customer you can get $5 off anything with coupon TAW742 (the coupon is only valid for one person per household)

[onefoot7]

Thank you very much for posting this, it is great. I like dal and find it healthy, and mainly Gluten-free. So, this is great and you are very kind to share, I will let you know how my cooking goes......L

[g8india]

i fry onions, chillies, cashew nuts, coriander before i add rice and lentils, it tastes much better

[Fizz0999]

@g8india yep, same!

[Rigent2010]

[mayurletsrock]

[ShowMeTheCurry]

We geared this more towards babies, children and when you're under the weather...something soothing and comforting.

We do mention it's baby food!

[david4uta]

Can you guys pls make a video on Sabudana Khichdi??

[lifewater1234]

I think Its Difficult

[ilovediorduh]

carrots in kichdi?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

This is a baby recipe...any which way to sneak in veggies :). You may like our "Masala Khichdi" instead.

[godspeed18]

can i do this in a regular rice cooker or pot?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Absolutely. It may take a little longer to cook in a regular pot.

[AJ9211]

hi guys- kadhi khichdi rocks! thanx for your variation khichdi. will try.

how come your moong daal is yellow cause we use the green moong daal. wheres the difference? r they different varieties or has either been processed in anyway. I know whole moong is green and the split moong daal we use is also greenish.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Moong comes as whole (green), split w/ the skin on (green) and split with the skin off (yellow).

[AJ9211]

thanx. didn't know this. i get to learn more than just cooking styles here!

[hafsa26]

Thank you - will try this.

[balraj99]

Hey babes - thanks a million, really appreciated. was looking for a simple recipe

[jodhbirsingh]

Thanks a lot

[ShowMeTheCurry]

We have a fantastic Masala Khichadi...sech for it under our name or the dish name!

[Chicagonri]

Hey..u guys mentioned in the video tat this Khichdi is for "SICK" ppl & babies..do u have khichdi recipe for Normal ppl?? anyways will try 2 find frm the internet for spicy khichdi recipe..Thx anyways!

[AJ9211]

@chicagonri-khichdi is an all rounder. its normal food and a staple diet in places like gujarat. What they mean is that because of its texture and health benefits etc it is especially good for sick/ elderly or babies like for example soup/broth its for every1 but especially good 4 sick people.

[kellargrg12]

oh its a real recipe. Thats cool. I didnt even know mung daal was a spice!

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Actually, mung daal means mung beans - not really a spice.

[himanshupatel79]

Thanks for sharing this

[redfootwalking]

Thank you for sharing this, I will try on my own soon!

[trupkar]

One of the easiest things to make on a cold night..thanks ladies.

[einsteinwallah]

Do you add asafoetida in this?

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Yes, we do. Just a pinch. Asofoetida helps with gas problems associated with Daals or beans.

[einsteinwallah]

Hmmm. I did not know that. I thought you cannot add asafoetida in water and boil it. You need to either roast it and then add it or add it during vaghar in heated oil. Thanks anyways for reply and video.

[aarti4628]

Thanks so much ... I love your recipes :)

[singhj16]

thank you so much...I tried this and it turned out really good. can you show how to make gujrati daal.

[ShowMeTheCurry]

Definitely! Gujarati Daal is on our list to do soon.

[M4st3rm1nd]

thats amazing. i learn a lot from your videos.

[sendevz]

no chillies???!!!

[ShowMeTheCurry]

You can definitely add chilies. We geared this more towards babies, children and when you're under the weather...something soothing and comforting.

[sendevz]

oh...ok...thanks...:)
