BM #89 Week 3 Day 1 - 

This week I shall showcase some one pot meals which are life savers to me and people like me. These days one pot translates to Instant Pot in my life. I am sure I would have used my regular pressure cooker to make the same khichdi.

I find that making such grain/seed based khichdi is very satisfying and filling as well. I sometimes add sambar powder to the khichdi. So feel free to play around with the vegetables and spices as needed.

Ingredients - 

Buckwheat 1 cup
Salt and Turmeric as needed
Ginger and Green chili paste as needed
Carrots and Peas 1.5 cups [other vegetables can be added]
Roasted Peanuts, coarsely crushed 1/4 cup
Seasoning (Oil 1 Tbsp, Jeera 1/2 tsp, Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp,  Asafotida a pinch)
Coriander leaves for garnish


Method Of Preparation -


Wash and soak the buckwheat for a few minutes.

Switch on the power for the IP with the inner pot placed. Set it to 'Saute' mode.

When the display shows 'Hot', add oil and the seasoning. After the mustard seeds pop, add ginger and green chili paste. Saute for a few seconds.

Add in the carrots and peas. Sprinkle turmeric and add the buckwheat [washed, soaked and drained].

Add salt and about 2 cups of water.

Set the mode to 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' [depending on the IP model]. Set it for 6 minutes. After it is done, let the pressure release naturally.

Remove from the IP and add crushed peanuts and squeeze lemon juice as needed. Mix well.

Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and enjoy it warm for a filling meal.
