Instant Pot Khichdi

Step 1

In a medium bowl, combine the dal and rice. Add water until covered.

Step 2

Set the electric pressure cooker to sauté and melt 2 tablespoons ghee. Add the onion, ginger, cumin, coriander and turmeric to the pressure cooker and cook, stirring often, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 4 minutes. Season with 2 teaspoons salt.

Step 4

Drain the dal mixture and add it to the pressure cooker. Add 4 cups water, cover, and set the electric pressure cooker for 15 minutes on low pressure. It will take a couple of minutes for it to come to pressure.

Step 5

When the time is up, immediately release the pressure. Carefully open the lid and season to taste with salt.

Step 6

Divide among bowls. Drizzle with ghee, then top with yogurt and cilantro to serve.
