About this recipe
Paneer cubes folded in at the end stay tender and contribute a creamy richness that coats each grain of rice. Green peas add sweetness and colour, breaking up the pale yellow base of rice and moong dal. This is a khichdi substantial enough to serve as a complete meal, especially when accompanied by yogurt.
Ingredients

Method
- 1Rinse rice and yellow moong dal until the water runs mostly clear; soak 10 minutes if the grain is firm.
- 2Heat ghee or oil in a cooker or deep pot, crackle cumin, then cook ginger with turmeric and spice powder for 30 seconds.
- 3Add green peas, rice, yellow moong dal, water and salt; stir well so nothing sticks to the base.
- 4Pressure cook until soft and creamy, then let the pressure drop naturally before opening.
- 5Fold paneer cubes into the hot khichdi, cover 5 minutes to warm through, then finish with coriander and lemon.
