I learnt this recipe from my sister-in-law. She adds more veggies and spices. I kept it simple because my daughter is very particular about certain veggies. This is light yet filling. This is very nutritious, easy to digest and gluten free.


Ingredients:

Rice- 1 cup
Moong dal- 1/2 cup
Vegetables- Carrots, Onions, Tomatoes and potatoes
Cumin seeds-1/2 tsp
Red chilli powder-1 tsp
Coriander seeds powder- 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder- 1/2 tsp
Ginger powder- 1/2tsp
Salt
Oil

Procedure:

1. Soak rice and moong dal in water for 1 hour and then drain.
2. In a pressure cooker, heat some oil and add cumin seeds. When they splutter add vegetables and fry along with turmeric powder and ginger powder.
3. Once the vegetables are little soft add rice and moong dal. Add red chilli powder, salt and corainder powder and fry.
4. Add 2 cups of water and pressure cook. Once it is done the rice and dal should be mushy.
5. Serve it by drizzling some ghee on top of it. You can eat it plain or with yoghurt.
