Quinoa Mung Dal Khichdi

Ingredients:
1/2 cup quinoa
1/2 cup yellow mung dal
1 tbsp ghee
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
1/4 tsp turmeric
Dash of Hing
Salt

Pressure cook the quinoa and the mung dal together in a cooker ensuring there is adequate water (about 2 cups atleast).  The khichdi should be a bit watery when you take it out.

Heat ghee in a pan. Add the cumin seeds and when they sputter add hing and turmeric.  Add the khichdi mixture. Mix well.  Add salt to taste.

Versions:
1. Add chopped spinach to the pressure cooker for a spinach version of the khichdi
2. Cook frozen mixed veggies in a microwave to add to the khichdi.  Drain the cooked veggies and add the veggies in the tempering stage right before adding the khichdi.
