In this chana dal khichdi, the rice grains as well as chana dal lentils are separate and this gives the khichdi a pulav like texture. This is the forte of this recipe. That is one of these easy recipe and makes use of simply two spice ingredients besides the rice and chana dal aka bengal gram. These spices are also in minimum quantities so that the nutty taste and flavor of the chana dal comes thru thoroughly within the recipe.
The khichdi tastes best while made in a odourless neutral vegetable oil. Keep away from making in ghee as the ghee subdues the flavors of the dal. Additionally you may use basmati rice or damaged basmati rice. Even ordinary broken rice or tukda chawal as we name in hindi can be used.
Pair the chana dal khichdi with a few yogurt (dairy or vegan) or raita and you've a satisfying meal. You do need a strain cooker to make this one. You may make in a pot too, however the water proportions might vary then.
