Ingredients:

For the Khichdi:

● 1/2 cup moong dal (yellow lentils)

● 1/2 cup basmati rice

● 2 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)

● 1 tsp whole cumin seeds (jeera)

● 1/2 tsp turmeric powder

● 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrot, beans, cauliflower), finely chopped

For the Tadka Dahi:

● 1 cup yogurt (dahi)

● 1 tsp ghee

● 1/2 tsp mustard seeds

● 8-10 curry leaves

Method:

Step 1: Roast the Moong Dal and Rice

● Heat a dry pan and lightly roast the moong dal on medium heat until it turns golden and aromatic. Set aside.

● Once done, gently mix the khichdi for a creamy texture.

Step 3: Prepare the Tadka Dahi

● Whisk the yoghurt until smooth and set aside.

● Heat ghee in a small tadka pan and add mustard seeds, curry leaves and mathaniya red chillies, sautéing for a few seconds.

● Pour the tadka over the whisked yoghurt and mix gently.
