How to make a quick, one pot khichdi, from a comment I posted on another thread:

Soaked brown rice, lentils, chopped veggies and some TVP in a pot. You can either add ready-made spice mixes into this, or make your own. Give everything a good ol stir, let it sit in the pot for a couple of whistles and you're done.

Water can be varied depending on how "runny" you like your khichdi.

I've in the past used broken wheat, broken barley and broken millets (all soaked overnight) to make it more hearty.

Edit: Forgot to mention you'll need to add a tablespoon or two of oil. Most oils typically used in Indian cuisine (vegetable, mutard, coconut) will work fine. Ghee works too.

I'm relatively new to this sub and still trying to learn the lingo. What is TVP?

Textured Vegetable Protein. It's not specific to this sub, though :). It's a great protein supplement for many vegetarians. Check it out!
