Kichri

So this is the ultimate Hyderabadi comfort food.  It’s simple, easy and absolutely delish!  It’s usually eaten with Kheema and various types of chutney.  I’ll be posting up the recipes for kheema and a couple different types of chutney, but for now enjoy!

Ingredients:

2 cups rice
1/2 cup masoor daal
1/2 pyaz
1/2 cup oil
4 1/2 cups water
2 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp haldi
1/2 tsp zeera
1 1/2 tsp adrak laysan

Directions:

Chop onion.

 

Measure out the rice and daal and mix together in a colander.

 

Turn the stove on high and add the oil.

 

Add half the chopped onion to the hot oil and saute til its translucent.

 

Add the adrak laysan, salt, haldi and zeera to the onions. Mix well.

 

Turn heat on low.

 

Wash your rice and daal mixture.

 

Add the rice/daal to the pot.

 

Mix it altogether and add the water.

 

Turn the heat on high again.  Bring to a boil til the rice can be seen at the top. (water has boiled off)

 

Turn heat on low and cover for 25 mins.  Turn heat off.

 

ENJOY!
