Saturday Nights are usually boring for me, specially on those days when you have lunch outside and have to cook only dinner. This Saturday was one of such days. At 8 p.m. my daughter Disha called me and said, Mom plz prepare Bajra Kichdi for dinner. So I asked her to get some bajra and moongdal, while coming home. She promptly got 2 kgs of bajra and 2 kgs of whole moong. Now I do not know what to do with so much of bajra and instead of moongdal I have Moong with me. After searching for 15 minutes in the pantry I got hold of a lil quantity of moongdal. Thank God for small mercies!
BAJRA KICHDI:
Ingredients:
Bajra - 1 cup
Moongdal - 2 cups
Salt to taste
Ghee - 1 tbsp
Shah jeera - 1 tbsp
Hing - 1 tsp
Method:
1. Powder bajra coarsely.
2. Wash Moongdal, put in a cooker along with bajra powder and salt.
3. Add water and put it on gas. Take out 2 whistles. Switch off gas. At this point, your kitchen counter will be splashed with bajra water, be prepared to clean it afterwards.
4. Once the cooker cools , heat ghee in a pan, add shahjeera and hing and pour it on the kichdi.
Serve hot with pickles.
