Why This Recipe?

Khichdi is comfort food, but why settle for just rice and lentils when you can power it up with a medley of millets? Mimi Crunch’s Multi-Millet Khichdi Mix blends various ancient grains into one nourishing base. It’s gluten-free, gut-friendly, and perfect for busy weekdays or light dinners.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup Mimi Crunch Multi-Millet Khichdi Mix
• ½ cup yellow moong dal (split yellow lentils)
• 2½–3 cups water
• 1 tbsp ghee or cold-pressed oil
• 1 tsp cumin seeds
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 small cinnamon stick (optional)
• 1 chopped green chili (optional)
• 1 tsp grated ginger
• ½ tsp turmeric powder
• ½ tsp red chili powder (optional)
• Salt to taste
• ½ cup chopped veggies (carrots, peas, beans, bottle gourd)
• Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Method:

Step 1 – Rinse & Soak
Wash 1 cup Mimi Crunch Multi-Millet Khichdi Mix and ½ cup moong dal. Soak them together for 15–20 minutes.

Step 3 – Add Spices & Veggies

Step 4 – Add Millet Mix & Water
Drain the soaked millet and dal. Add them to the pan along with 2½ to 3 cups water (depending on desired consistency). Add salt to taste.

Step 5 – Cook
If using a pressure cooker: Close lid and cook for 2 whistles on medium flame.
If using a pot: Cover and simmer for 20–25 minutes until millets and dal are soft.
