Today was yet another 'fun dinner' (to quote a friend) at our house - Khichadi (made by Dad) and SevPuri (made by Mom). What was I doing? Well, I was acting as sous-chef to Dad - doing all the peeling-and-chopping, laying the table - all the non-starring roles. :-( ;-)
As I said in a previous post , Dad favours easy, one-dish meals - dishes which are flavousome and wholesome. Today's khichadi was yet another such dish - and kudos to Dad, he made up the recipe himself!
Rice. Lentils (moong daal - with the shells on). Carrots. French Beans. Onion. Garlic - just a touch. Spices (Goda Masala)- the barest whisper. And salt (to taste, of course. :-) )
A bit of saute action in a wok(onion, garlic, green chillies). Followed by the veggies. And the rice and lentils. Topped with recently-boiled water. Seasonings adjustment. (masala and salt). Covered and left to cook till the rice-and-lentils-and-veggies are just-cooked. Care taken to not let them become mush.
Served piping hot. Ghee - optional.
A full tummy and a smile on the face - mandatory. :-)P
