– Turmeric: 1 teaspoon
– Cumin Seeds: 1 teaspoon
– Red chilly powder: 1 teaspoon
– Ghee: 2 tablespoon
– Salt to taste

– Curry leaves and cashews: Optional

Preparation

1 – Wash And soak moong dal and millet for at least an hour. I usually soak it overnight, so that the cooking time reduces. 2 – Heat the skillet, add ghee to it. Once it melts, add cumin seeds, red chilly powder, turmeric powder and curry leaves. Once it crackles, add the soaked and drained millet and dal. 3 – Give it one good mix. Then add 3 cups of water and salt. Let it come to a boil. 4 – Reduce the flame to low and cover the pan with the lid. Let it cook for 10 to 15 minutes or until the dal is well cooked. 5 – Mash the khichdi a little. Add some more water to get it to the consistency you desire. 6 – Top it with generous amount of coriander leaves and serve it hot with lemon wedges and ghee.
