    1. Yes you could do that. Mostly these are not eaten. In India, these are kept aside by the person eating it, so we kind of do serve it all together. But yes, you could separate these spices while serving.

  8. I tried this recipe and only did 2 whistles and 5 mins on low induction as 4 whistles seemed too much. I used basmati rice and soaked it for 40 mins. The taste was okish however the rice was clearly overcooked, too mushy. Not sure what to do with the overcooked rice now, similar to you I hate to waste. Do you’ve any ideas? I’ve tried other recipes from your site and they generally turn out quite nice so not sure what went wrong on this one3 stars

    1. if the rice turns mushy, no issues. just add some more water. stir and keep the khichdi to simmer. you will get a soft porridge consistency khichdi which also tastes equally good. you can adjust the water amount as required.

  9. hii… made this for lunch with egg omelet…it was awesome..thanks a lot fir this tasty recipe…

  10. Hello, I’ve recently discovered your wonderful site after a trip to India and falling totally in love with Indian food. I want to try this recipe, but my pressure cooker is electric. My choices are high or low pressure, and minutes. Can you tell me how “4-5 whistles on medium to high flame” translates to these terms? Thank you, and thank you for all of these wonderful recipes!

    1. thanks deidre. i am sorry i cannot help you as i have no idea of how an electric pressure cooker works. generally the regular pressure cooker that we use has full high pressure. the pressure develops in the process of cooking and the whistles release the in built steam as well as the pressure. so you will have experiment and try with your electric pressure cooker.

      1. Hello. I am expecting a baby. And to be true, I always disliked Khichdi. But in Pregnancy, I don’t know what has happened to me. Last night I keep dreaming of Khichdi. And so today morning, the first thing I searched on the web was your simple easy recipe! It’s yummy! It’s the easiest and the best! I paired it with Kumro bhaja and chutney! Thanks a lot for making this new mumma so happy!!!!5 stars

        1. first of all congratulations sheersha. yes in pregnancy there are peculiar food cravings. i am glad that you liked the khichdi recipe. most khichdi recipes are easy to make. kumro bhaja (i have had only once) and chutney is a great combination with bengali khichdi recipe.
          wish you all the best.
