Moong Dal Kichadi

After Moong Dal Kachori, it is now time for Moog Dal Kichadi! This Kichadi is not the kind that you would have on a traditional Kerala sadya. This is a sweet dish and it is called Kichadi, don't know why it is called so. My mom makes this once in a while, especially during the Ramzan fasting time. It is a quick dessert, but it serves more as an evening snack for me. It is healthy and a good dish for kids.


Moong Dal- 1 cup
Rice- 1/4 cup
Water- 3 1/2 cup
Sugar- 3/4 cup to 1 cup (depending on your taste)
Salt- 1/4 tsp (heaped)
Coconut Milk- 1 cup (thick)
Ghee- 1 1/2 tsp

1. In a pressure cooker, put Moong Dal, Rice (I used Sona Masoori) and 2 cup of water and cook it for two whistles.
2. Open the cooker after the pressure is completely released.
3. Mash the mixture slightly and add the remaining water, sugar and salt and mix well.
4. Once it starts to boil, add the coconut milk and mix it well again.
5. When this is almost ready to boil, turn off the heat and add the ghee and mix it.


You dish is ready. You can eat it as a dessert or a snack.
