Kichadi




This is a very easy one pot meal .And this is that dish I cook on days I have an asthma attack ,I think now  you people can guess how easy it is.Though its easy it doesn't compromise on taste or nutrition,you will understand when you read the ingredients used.This tastes well when its still warm.I like to have this with some mango pickle.
Ingredients:
Basmati rice or Jasmine rice-1 cup
Mung Dhal-1/2 cup
Cut vegetables(carrots,peas,beans,potato)-1& 1/2cups
Cumin-1 tsp
Ghee-2 tsp
Asofoetida -1/4 tsp
Turmeric-1/4tsp
Green chilli-2
Salt as required
Method:
Heat a pressure cooker and add ghee. When the ghee is hot add the cumin,asofoetida and turmeric.Immediately add the vegetables, dhall,rice ,salt and 2 1/4 cups of water .Close the cooker and when steam comes put the weight and reduce the heat and pressure cook for 5 minutes.After the 5 minutes and when the pressure is released open the cooker stir all the contents well.Now you have your warm tasty and nutritious meal ready .
