LAPSI KHICHIDI

Broken wheat provides calcium, folic acid, iron and other nutrients. Adding broken wheat in your daily diet helps you fit and energetic. In this recipe to make the dish extra delicious, I added moong dal and vegetables. This is the one, I would love to prefer during my fasting because its quite filling and comforting, I can have the same for my lunch and dinner :)

INGREDIENTS

1 Cup Broken wheat (Big size))

1/4 Cup Yellow Moong dal

1 tbsp Grated Ginger

1/2 Cup Vegetables ( carrots, beans, cabbage)

1 tsp Jeera

1 ts Turmeric pd

2 Green chilly

1/2 tsp Crushed Pepper

5 to 6 Curry leaves.

2 Cup Plus Water.

1 tbsp Ghee

Pinch of Hing

Salt to taste.

Coriander for garnish


METHOD

Heat Ghee in a kadai. Add jeera, ginger and curry leaves. Once its fried, add vegetables, green chilly and saute well adding salt and turmeric pd. Now add in washed cleaned moong dal and wheat rava and give a quick stir. Pour in adequate amount of water and bring them to boil. Reduce the flame and cook for about 20 to 25 min. Stir in medium and check at the regular interval. If water is needed then add more. Depends on how much liquidity you need. Once its cooked, add hing, pepper and lastly garnish with coriander leaves. At the time of serve, add half a tsp of ghee. It taste really good.
