Best 2 Healing Kachadi Recipes
INSTANT POT® KHICHDI
Two types of legumes, brown basmati rice, and goda masala are cooked in an Instant Pot® for a traditionally flavored Indian classic. Goda masala is a coconut-based seasoning, which gives this dish a fragrant and tasty edge. Khichdi is easy to digest, so it is nice for detox or when you want something light. Leftovers warm up nicely with a touch of water. This is a simple recipe; some cooks like to add vegetables to the saute.

Steps:
- Rinse rice and mung beans. Cover with water and soak for 15 minutes. Rinse split yellow dal and add to the rice and mung beans to soak for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Saute cumin and mustard seeds in 2 tablespoons ghee until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add shallot and ginger and cook until shallot is tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the drained rice and legumes; stir to combine. Turn off Saute function.
- Stir in goda masala, turmeric, pepper, and salt. Add water; stir well. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure and set timer for 18 minutes according to manufacturer's instructions. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
- Allow pressure to release naturally for 15 minutes. Manually release any remaining pressure, 5 to 10 minutes more. Stir khichdi and divide between 6 bowls. Top each with 1 tablespoon of remaining ghee.

HEALING KACHADI
My husband's Oriental Dr. recommended this to him for a protein boost in his diet. I made it today and the house smelled so good. The spices are very aromatic and are a must in this delicious recipe. I didn't use Ghee but Earth Balance vegan margarine instead because I don't eat dairy products as a rule. It has no trans fats like other margarine. It worked fine. I also used Jasmine rice instead of the basmati because that's what I had. I also used ground Cardamom as I didn't have the pods, I put in about 1/2 tsp. It is very strong, so if you want use 1/4 tsp. All my spices were ground in this recipe. I used non-chicken stock in this to keep it vegetarian. I soaked my rice and dahl together instead of separately for a few hours. The longer you leave it, the softer it gets and I believe it cuts down the cooking time. Keep an eye on this once you start to boil it in the pot. Note, I didn't include the soak time for the rice and dahl in this recipe.

Steps:
- Soak the rice and dahl separately for at least 1 hour. Drain and rinse them well. In a sauce pan or medium sauté pan brown the cumin, coriander, turmeric and asafetida in the ghee.
- Stir in the drained rice and dahl and stir it well to coat in the spices for about 1 minute.
- Add the water or broth, then the salt, ginger and cardamom seeds.
- Cover and simmer for about 20-30 minutes until all the liquid is absorbed. Watch this, it may take less time.
- You can add asparagus, arame, hijiki, carrots or peas to this as they are compatible with the other ingredients.
- For maximum benefit, enjoy in an atmosphere of pleasure and gratitude.
- This recipe is best if made in small batches.
- Bon Appetit!
