Khichdi with Rice and Lentil

Khichdi with Rice and Lentil

Ingredients for Khichdi with Rice and Lentil:

Brown basmati rice: 40 grams
Moong dal (raw): 40 grams
Other lentil: 20 grams
Turmeric powder: ½ tsp
Dry chillies: 1 piece
Cumin seeds: ½ tsp (whole)
Salt: as per requirement
Ghee: 1 tbsp

Instructions for Khichdi with Rice and Lentil:

Rinse the brown rice and the lentils (moong dal and the other lentil) under running water until the water runs clear. Drain well. (Optional: soak them together for 15–30 minutes to reduce cooking time.)
Heat the ghee in a heavy-bottomed pot or pressure cooker over medium heat.
Add the cumin seeds and dry chilli; sauté briefly until the cumin becomes aromatic and the chilli darkens slightly (about 20–30 seconds). Be careful not to burn the spices.
Add the drained rice and lentils to the pot and stir for a minute so they are coated with ghee and spices.
Sprinkle in the turmeric powder and add salt to taste. Mix everything well.
Add water — enough to cook the rice and lentils until soft (if not soaked, use about 3–4 times the combined volume; adjust as needed).
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cook covered until the rice and lentils are very soft and break down (or close the pressure cooker and cook for 2–3 whistles, then let pressure release naturally).
Open the pot, mash slightly with the back of a spoon if you prefer a creamier texture. If the khichdi is too thick, add a little hot water and simmer for a minute to reach desired consistency.
Check seasoning and adjust salt. Finish with a small drizzle of ghee on top for extra flavor.
Serve hot with yogurt, pickle, or a simple salad.

Yes, you can add more spices as well as some other ingredients which may improve the taste but keep in mind you need to fix macro as it is fixed in the recipe. Macronutrients must not be changed.

Can I increase or decrease the amount of oil given in the recipe?

Yes, you can change the amount of oil used in the recipe but you will have to manage it from the next or previous meal of the same day. The total amount of oil/fat prescribed for a day must not be increased or decreased i.e. you have to cook entire day food with a given amount of oil in a day. This is applicable to those who are following Dr. Pankaj Kumar's diet plan.

Is there a trial diet plan?

No, we do not have any trial diet plan. the reason behind this is all the diet plans are made after seeing blood test reports and after taking meticulous history including dietary history, so it is not possible to do all these just to try. people used to come here for results,s not to a try. you can see a sample diet plan how things are added to diet but this is just a dummy diet plan made especially for understanding purposes.
