Mujadarah

Surprised by the name ??
That is a mediterranean term for Masoor daal khichdi. I have cooked this khichdi for years but gotta know the term recently from a resto here. Used that name just to spice it up :)

You Need
1 cup whole masoor daal (red gram)
1 cup rice
1 huge onion
1 whole red chillies
GGP
2 table spoons garam masala
1 tspoon salt and turmeric
1 table spoon oil
1/2 cup yoghurt

Soak masoor dal for 6-8 hrs
soak rice for 1 hr
put oil in cooker n heat on low flame
saute red chillies n onions till golden brown
add youghurt n cook till it boils
add GGP.
put daal n rice
add water an inch above the mixture level.
add garam masala,salt and turmeric
cook with weight till one whistle.
lower the flame or 5 mins and then turn off.
open only after steam escapes completely
you could garnish this with chopped coriander leaves n 1 table spoon ghee.

i generally couple this with my style gujju kadhi. so u have something to sip occasionally b/w delicious bites of the mujadarah.
ok recipe 4 the gujju kadhi is also coming soon :)
