Preparing Kichdi
Heat 3 tbsp of oil in a kadai then add dry red chilies, bay leaves, star anise, Cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, cumin seeds, mustard seeds, Fennel seeds, and coriander seeds. Then add all the vegetables (except cabbage, capsicum, and tomatoes) cut into small to medium-sized cubes, and roast well in oil. After 3-4 minutes, add Cabbage as it takes less time to cook. Cook the vegetables until they are 40-50% cooked. Then add Asafoetida or hing and mix well. Add ginger and green chili paste and saute well. Then add Capsicum and Tomatoes and mix well. Add roasted moong dal into the mixture. Then put masalas: Turmeric Powder, Cumin Powder, Coriander Powder, and mix well. Add 7-8 cups of water, after putting Red Chilli Powder, mix well and let it cook until it boils. Add washed rice and salt to taste. Stir between intervals to avoid burning or sticking to the kadaai. Then add green peas and stir well. When the kichdi starts to thicken, cook it on low flame. Cover the lid and let the kichdi cook for another 9-10 minutes. After 10 minutes add ghee, roasted cumin powder, and lemon juice. Garnish it with green coriander leaves.

NOTES

Always add the amount of Moong daal and rice in equal quantities.

Adding Red Chilli Powder is optional. However, adding it gives a nice color to the dish.

It can also be cooked in a pressure cooker. However, cooking openly in a kadai enhances the taste and flavour.
