Here are a few tips on how to make Vegetable Khichdi like a pro;\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use a combination of rice and lentils: Opt for a mix of rice and lentils like split yellow moong dal or masoor dal to enhance the flavour and nutritional value of the khichdi.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Soak the rice and lentils: Soaking the rice and lentils for 30 minutes before cooking can help in easy digestion and even cooking. However, if you&#8217;re short on time, you can skip this step.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Saut\u00e9 the spices: Before adding vegetables, saut\u00e9 the cumin seeds and mustard seeds in oil or ghee until they crackle. This releases their flavours and adds a delightful aroma to the khichdi.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Chop vegetables uniformly: Chop the vegetables into small, uniform pieces to ensure they cook evenly and blend well with the rice and lentils.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Adjust water quantity: The quantity of water can impact the consistency of the khichdi. For a more porridge-like texture, add slightly more water.
