Lapsi Khichdi with vegetables



Ingredients

Lapsi/broken wheat/bulgur wheat  1 cup
Yellow moong dal 1/2 cup
Chopped vegetables ( carrots, capsicum, peas)
Finely chopped coriander
Half a glass of skimmed milk
Half a teaspoon red chilli powder
Half a spoon cumin seeds
A small stick of cinnamon
A couple of cloves
A pinch of turmeric powder
One tablespoon ghee
Salt to taste
Lemon juice to taste

Cooking Method:

Wash and soak a cup of lapsi and moong dal in 3 cups of water for half an hour. Wash, peel and cut vegetables. Pour the soaked lapsi with moong dal and water in a pressure cooker. Add the chopped vegetables, half a glass of milk, turmeric powder and salt and cook it for a couple of whistles till it becomes soft. If you do not want to pressure cook, you can steam them in the cooker till vegetables are soft( steaming is the healthier option). Once it is soft, you could mash it up a little if you like. In a kadai, heat ghee, switch off the flame and add cumin seeds, a small stick of cinnamon, cloves and a little chilli powder. Pour it into the khichdi. Add lemon juice to taste and garnish it with coriander. Serve hot with pickle and curd.
