Bajra Khichdi Recipe

Step 1- To make millet khichdi, you will have to take about 1/2 cup of millet. To add it, use 1 handful of rice and 1 handful of washed moong dal. For applying tadka, asafoetida, ghee, cumin, 1 pinch of turmeric and salt as per taste are required.

Second step- First of all clean the millet and grind it lightly. In ancient times, millet was soaked and pounded in a mortar. Due to which the taste of Bajra Khichdi became very good. Now, if it is not empty then soak the millet in water for 5-6 hours and after draining the water, just mix it once in the mixer.

Third step- Now add millet, moong dal, rice and salt and turmeric in the cooker and keep it on gas. Pour 2 cups of water in the cooker and cook the khichdi for about 3-4 whistles. After 1 whistle, reduce the gas flame and let it whistle for 2-3 whistles.

Fourth step- Heat ghee in a pan and prepare tadka for khichdi. When the ghee is hot, add asafoetida and cumin seeds. When these things are lightly roasted, add finely chopped green chillies or 2 broken red chillies. Now pour the prepared tadka over the khichdi and serve.

Fifth step- You can also apply this tadka in whole khichdi. – After applying tadka, cook the khichdi for 5 more minutes so that the flavor of the tadka gets absorbed properly in the entire khichdi. Serve hot bajra khichdi.
