Organic Moong Dal Khichdi

A comforting, light, and nutritious one-pot meal cooked with AllSquare unpolished yellow moong dal, aged basmati rice, organic cow ghee, and high-curcumin turmeric.

Step-by-Step Directions

Wash the basmati rice and yellow moong dal together. Soak them in clean water for 15 minutes, then drain.

Heat AllSquare Cow Ghee in a pressure cooker or heavy-bottomed pot.

Add cumin seeds and let them crackle. Add Hing and turmeric powder.

Add the drained rice and dal. Sauté gently on medium flame for 1-2 minutes until coated in aromatic ghee.

Pour in water and add rock salt to taste. Stir well.

Close the lid and cook for 3-4 whistles on medium heat (or simmer in a pot for 20 minutes until completely soft and mushy).

Serve warm, drizzled with an extra teaspoon of AllSquare Organic Cow Ghee.
