End the hassle of standing in the kitchen for hours. Make Kadhi Rice together in the cooker, the taste will be such that you will keep licking your fingers.

News India Live, Digital Desk: For us Indians, Kadhi Chawal is not just a dish, it is an emotion. Hot, sour and spicy curry and rice with it… aha! It tops the list of “comfort foods”. But when it comes to making it, many people get lazy. Why? Because offer a separate pan for the curry, stir it continuously, separate pan for the pakoras and a separate cooker for the rice. The result is a mountain of dirty dishes in the sink after eating! But friends, what if I tell you that you don’t need to dirty different dishes? Yes, you can cook curry and rice “together” in your pressure cooker. This is called ‘One Pot Meal’. This method is no less than a boon for those who live in hostels, live alone or are short of time. Let us learn this magical recipe in very simple language. What is required? (Ingredients) Nothing much, same everyday ingredients: Gram flour and sour curd (for Kadhi) Rice (soaked) Spices: Turmeric, salt, red chilli, fenugreek seeds, asafoetida, cumin. For tempering: Mustard/mustard, dry red chilli, curry leaves. (If there is no time to make pakodas, then use ‘Boondi’). Easy way to make (Step-by-Step) This method is a little simple. ‘Technical’ but very easy. This is called PIP (Pot In Pot) method. Kadhi batter: First of all, prepare a thin kadhi batter by mixing curd, gram flour, water, turmeric and salt in a vessel. Tadka in the cooker: Place the pressure cooker on gas. Heat oil in it. Now add asafoetida, fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds and green chillies. Add the batter: Now pour the prepared gram flour-curd batter directly into the cooker. Stir it till it comes to a boil (so that the curds do not curdle). Preparation of rice (magical step): Now wash the rice and place it in a steel tiffin or small deep bowl. Add water and salt in it accordingly. Cook together: Now place an iron ‘stand’ in the boiling curry inside the cooker. Place a tiffin or bowl of rice on that stand. (Make sure that the amount of kadhi is such that it does not go inside the bowl). Whistle: Close the lid of the cooker and let it whistle for 2-3 whistles on medium flame. Finishing touch: When the pressure is released, carefully take out the rice bowl (the rice will be cooked). Stir the curry once. If there are no pakodas, then add ‘boondi’ and green coriander from raita on top. Apply ‘ghee wala tadka’ on top. If you want to double the taste, then while serving, heat ghee in a small ladle, add mustard seeds, Kashmiri red chillies and curry leaves in it and pour this tadka over the curry. What are its benefits? Time saving: Complete meal ready in 10-15 minutes. Gas saving: One Both the things were cooked on the same flame.Cleaning: You will have to wash only one cooker and one bowl.
