Yellow Moong Dal Khichdi a one pot simple meal with split yellow moong beans and rice. Creamy, soft, light on stomach with detoxifying properties!!

Khichdi or Kitchari is considered a comfort meal by many in India due to the comfort and ease of making and it’s digestive properties. Khichdi means ‘all mixed up’ in local language. It is prepared by mixing and soaking lentils with rice then dumping it in the cooker/vessel with cumin, turmeric tempering in Desi ghee. All the ingredients used in making this khichdi have Ayurvedic benefits on the body .

There are many variations in making khichdi. Lentils like Split Pigeon Pea, Split chickpea Lentils are also used in making Khichdi. But, as these lentils are heavy on stomach and also takes a little more time to cook as compared to moong lentils. So Moong lentil Khichdi is the first choice to make when someone is not feeling well or recovering from some illness or have some digestive issue.

Ayurveda strongly recommends fasting for a day and then breaking the fast with this simple Khichdi. It is one of the best and cheapest detox 🙂 !!

I love to have Khichdi with Cilantro chutney and my kids like to have papads with it. A glass of buttermilk with some cucumber slices or any yogurt raita, makes it a whole and filling meal.

Another detoxifying Khichdi from the blog is.. Hari Moong Dal Khichdi, that is equally nutritious and simple to prepare.

How to make Simple Yellow Moong Dal Khichdi..

Simple Yellow Moong Dal Khichdi can be made in just a few minutes. No chopping, frying or sautéing the masala, not time-consuming tasks are involved. It is recommended to soak lentils and rice for at least 15-30 mins as it speeds up the cooking process and makes the grains easily digestible.

I make Khichdi with or without vegetables. Most of the times, I just temper and cook Khichdi in cumin and turmeric with desi ghee and sometime I do add finely chopped carrots and peas to it. But we mostly like it simple topped with a spoonful of Desi Ghee.

Feel free to add vegetables in your Khichdi, but if you want a detoxifying and light meal, just leave the vegetables and keep it simple. Also many people like to temper it with red chill, cumin in ghee while serving. I skip it as we like to have it plain with absolutely no spices.

Simple Khichdi is a satvik no-onion and no-garlic meal and it is also suitable for Vegans. You can use Vegetable oil to make. But studies have shown that Desi ghee can be conveniently consumed by vegans or those who have lactose intolerance. I am not recommending it. You can confirm from the your reliable resources before consuming it.

How to cook Simple Khichdi..

Khichdi is usually cooked in Pressure Cooker to save the time, as lentils and rice take time to cook in open pan. These days we can make it in Instant Pot too. Just dump everything, add some water and set the timings.

Cooking in Open Pan..

In a heavy bottomed open pan, add ghee/oil, add hing and cumin seeds, once the seeds crackle, add turmeric powder and the add soaked rice lentil mix.as water in 4:1 ratio to moong and rice mix.This gives Khichdi of creamy consistency. We love it this way. If you like thicker texture, add less water. Cover the pan with little space for steam to escape and cook khichdi till the grains are done.

Cooking Khichdi in Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker

Cooking Khichdi in open pan takes time.So it is usually made in pressure cooker to save the time. Initial steps remain the same as followed in Open Pan method, only difference is the ratio of water. Add 3 Cups water when cooking in Instant Pot or Stovetop Pressure cooker.

Cook Khichdi in Pressure Cooker for 3-4 whistles on medium flame and in Instant Pot ‘Pressure cook Mode(High)’ take 7-8 minutes ( sans the time it takes to come to pressure).

Please see the recipe card for detailed recipe.

Let’s see how I make this so easy and simple Yellow Moong Dal Khichdi..

Yellow Moong Dal Khichdi

Yellow Moong Dal Khichdi a one pot simple meal with split yellow moong beans and rice. Creamy, soft, light on stomach with detoxifying properties!!

1/2 Cup Yellow Moong Dal/Split Yellow Moong Lentils

1/2 Cup Rice

1 tbsp Desi Ghee/Oil

1 tsp Cumin Seeds/Jeera

1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder

Salt as per taste.

Wash rice and lentils together 2-3 times in water.Soak for 15-30 minutes.

Instant Pot Method

Set the SAUTE MODE of Instant Pot on on high for 5 mins.

Add ghee to it. Once the display shows HOT, add cumin seeds. Once the seeds crackle, add turmeric powder.

Drain water from rice and lentil mix, add add to the inner pot, mix and saute for a minute.

Add water around 3 cups and Cancel the SAUTE Mode.

Cover and seal the lid, and set the PRESSURE COOKER Mode on High for 8 minutes.

Once the timer goes off, let it go on warm mode, if your are planning to have it after some time. Else, release Pressure using QRP after 2-3 minutes. Check for the doneness of grains and have it warm with a spoonful of ghee!!

Pressure Cook Method

In Pressure Cooker, add ghee, keep it on medium flame, add cumin seeds once ghee is hot.

When seeds crackle, add turmeric , rice and lentil mix, saute for a minute then add water(3 cups), cover and cook on medium flame for 3-4 whistles. Let the pressure go naturally.

Serve hot!!

I use Basmati Rice for Cooking. You can use any rice(Broken , Jasmine, Sona Masoori).

Use oil for the vegan friendly version.

Skip Hing or Asafoetida for Gluten-free version.

Do make this simple and light meal on days when you want something light and comforting, homemade and without too much standing in Kitchen. It is a very healthy and nutritious meal for babies you start feeding them grain based meals. Good for elderly and sick people or those who have we weak digestive system.

Jeera Rice, flavourful rice cooked in desi ghee with cumin and aromatic Indian spices. Instant Pot and Pressure Cooker Method.

The dish got its name as the rice is richly flavoured with cumin seeds/jeera that are added to hot oil. It goes very well with Indian curries and dals. The rice is specially prepared on special occasions when guests arrive as a side with rich gravies and dals. Want a change from your regular Rice.. make this flavourful Jeera rice. It is also served in many Indian restaurants(in US) as complimentary dish to curries and dals.

As a kid I used to love Jeera rice more than the steamed rice. Mom usually made it along with Chole Masala and curries like egg curry, aloo dum or kale chane, whenever had guests at home. My kids like to have this with Chole Masala or Kale Chane curry.

How is Jeera Rice prepared

Jeera rice is commonly prepared in open pans and in pressure cooker. It can also be prepared with steamed rice leftover rice to make it more fragrant. Many people do not like to have a day old leftover steamed rice especially the elders in family as they believe as per ayurveda as it is not good to consume as it creates air imbalance in body. So rice is tempered with ghee and jeera/cumin seeds.

Can we cook Jeera Rice in Instant Pot..

Yes absolutely, we can cook Jeera rice in Instant pot and it is very easy too. All you have to do is cook rice, set the timer and then you can finish off your other chores.

Cumin seeds Benefits..

Cumin seeds and other while spices along with making a dish flavourful also enhances digestion. Cumin seeds are an important part of Indian cooking and are good for weight loss. These help to flush out toxins from the body and also have stress busting properties and flush out toxins from the body. You can refer to any good ayurvedic resource to know more about Jeera/Cumin.

Just a few pointers to keep in mind and you can make perfect Jeera rice with each grain well cooked and seperate. No one likes a mushy Jeera Rice.

A good quality basmati rice is a must. On using other quality rice, can’t comment on it as I have not used any other than basmati rice.

Wash rice 2-3 times and soak it for at least 30 minutes before preparing it.

Water to rice ratio is very important. While cooking in pressure cooker or Instant pot, add 1 and 1/4 cup of water as to 1 Cup of Rice.

Use Desi Ghee.. Though adding desi ghee is not compulsory but it enhances the flavour of basmati rice. Also, the grains cook well and do not stick to each other.

Stick to the cooking time as per the quality of the rice you use.

Let’s see how I cook this fragrant Jeera Rice..

This post covers the Pressure Cooker, Instant Pot method..

To cook Jeera rice in Pressure cooker on stove-top..

Keep pressure cooker on medium flame, heat desi ghee or oil. Saute cumin seeds and other whole whole spices in desi ghee/oil, until fragrant, then add rice and water. The rice to water ratio should be 1: 1¼ . Cover the lid and cook rice on medium flame for 2 whistles. Let the pressure go on it’s own. Open the cover and lightly fluff rice with fork. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro/coriander leaves.
