Directions

Step 1

Wash the rice and lentils thoroughly and soak them in water for 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Heat ghee in a large pot over medium heat. Add cumin seeds, bay leaf, and cinnamon stick. Sauté until fragrant.

Step 3

Add sliced onions and fry until golden brown. Stir occasionally to avoid burning.

Step 4

Add ginger and garlic paste. Cook for 2–3 minutes until raw smell disappears.

Step 5

Add chopped tomato, turmeric, and salt. Cook until tomatoes soften and oil separates from the masala.

Step 6

Add the soaked rice and lentils to the pot. Gently stir to coat them with the masala mixture.

Step 7

Pour in 4 cups of hot water.

Step 8

Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and cover.

Step 9

Let the khichuri cook on low heat for about 25–30 minutes until rice and lentils are tender and the water is absorbed.

Step 10

Add green chilies and give a gentle stir. Cover again and let it rest for 5 minutes to enhance flavor.

Step 11

Fluff gently with a fork. Serve hot with a side of pickles or fried eggplant.
