Vaghareli Khichdi....the one meal that K can live on day in day out. Though I am not as big a fan as K, I do make this for him on a regular basis. Well, I better right? after all that K cooks for me!
This is a basic Gujarati recipe, though you will find many different ways of making this in every Gujarati home. Several readers have emailed me and requested traditional Gujarati recipes.
So here it is, a recipe for a Gujarati style:Vagahreli Lilva ni Khichdi.
You will need:
1 cup tuver daal, 2 cups rice, 1 medium onion-chopped, 4 large cloves garlic-chopped, 1-jalapeño pepper- chopped, 1 cup Tuver Lilva, (fresh or frozen), Jeera seeds, oil, hing,curry leaves, dry chili pepper for the tempering. Salt, turmeric, a pinch of sugar and garam masala to taste, 6 cups of water.
Soak tuver daal and rice for at least an hour. In a deep pressure cooker, heat some oil. Add jeera, hing, curry leaves, dry red chili, onions, garlic and Jalapeño. Add the Lilvas too and stir until the onions turn translucent. Now add the tuver daal and the rice and the spices.Add 6 cups of water. Let the mixture come to a boil. Now put the lid on and cook for 2 whistles. Leave the cooker on the range till it is cooled.
Serve hot with an authentic Gujarati Chaas,Kadhi, Pickles and Papad.....
Now, on to a MeMe that I was tagged by Supriya......"5 things that the world does not know about me...." hmm...this one is quite amusing...but will try my best. Here goes:

Trupthi,
It looks so good, although I think I must try the ragda pattice recipe first
Hi Trupti, khichdi is looking really wonderful and would like a little now ;) It's so interesting to read a little about you all -- thanks for sharing the meme :)
Tell us more about the love story, T! :) I love Ganesha too! I also think he's the cutest looking God we have, which N thinks is sacriligious to say!
I make khichdis once in a while but I love the fact that they are so wholesome and easy to make in a pressure cooker.
Trupti, Love your Recipe for Kichidi ,it's so delicipous and the picture looks great:)
Good meme..i like that "make karan johar cry"..hahaha..Idlies and kichdi look delicious.Even my fav. is ganesha.My mom and myself used to collect idols.After coming here i couldn't.Now my mom is still collecting...
Hi Thrupthi .... nice to read the MEME ... Even I loved Lord Ganesha a lot - most people do i think - because he has such an appealing personality :) the round soft tummy and the biiig ears :) .. not to forget the trunk!
It would be wonderful to hear your love story, why don't you please post it sometime ..?
Hi Trupti - what is Lilva? Can I make this khichdi without the lilva if I don't find it near me?
Thanks for article!
Thanks for interesting article.
Glad to read articles like this. Thanks to author!
Excellent website. Good work. Very useful. I will bookmark!
Hi Trupti, the last time I tried kicchidi something went wrong in the ratios of daal, rice and water. I was looking for a post that showed the ratios when cooking in a pressure cooker. Am down with a little bit of cold and wanted to cook some kichchidi for me and my husband; a bit of variation from usual parathas. Thanks for putting this up!
