Here’s a favourite vegetarian recipe:

Lehsuni Palak Khichdi: Garlicky Rice, Yellow Moong Bean and Spinach Porridge

Khichdi is a popular casserole from the Indian subcontinent. A combination of lentils and vegetables are cooked with rice in one pot to create a wholesome and delicious vegetarian dish. From the food memoirs of Mughal emperors to the British kedgeree, one can find a lot of interesting tales about the khichdi. This recipe is for a spinach and garlic–flavored moong bean and rice khichdi that is a comforting bowl of green goodness. If you are a garlic lover like me, then this khichdi will soon become your favorite curried meal.

Serves 2

Vegetarian, Gluten Free

1 cup (200 g) uncooked short-grain white rice

⅓ cup (67 g) dried yellow moong beans

4¼ cups (1 L) water, divided

2 cups (60 g) spinach leaves

1 green chile, such as jalapeño, Thai green chile or serrano pepper, chopped

1 tbsp (5 g) chopped fresh ginger

2 cloves garlic

4 tbsp (55 g) ghee

2 dried red chiles

1 tbsp (10 g) sliced garlic

¼ tsp asafetida

1 tsp cumin seeds

½ cup (80 g) finely chopped red onion

1 tsp salt

½ tsp red chili powder

Combine the rice and moong beans. Rinse until the water runs clear. Soak in water for 15 minutes.

Bring 2 cups (480 ml) of water to a boil in the Instant Pot. Add the spinach leaves. Cook for 1 minute. Transfer the leaves to a blender along with the green chile, ginger and garlic cloves. Blend into a smooth paste. Set aside. Discard the water from the Instant Pot.

Set the sauté mode of the Instant Pot for 10 minutes.

Add the ghee to the inner pot. Once the ghee is hot, add the dried red chiles, sliced garlic, asafetida and cumin seeds, and fry for 50 seconds. Add the red onion and fry until lightly golden.

Drain all the water from the soaked rice and moong beans. Add to the pot. Sauté until the timer goes off. Add the remaining 2¼ cups (540 ml) of water, salt and red chili powder, and mix. Close the lid. Set the steam valve to the sealing position. Pressure cook at high pressure for 6 minutes. Wait for the natural release of steam.

Add the spinach puree to the khichdi. Stir to combine. Cover the pot with the glass lid and let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve the khichdi warm.
