how to make moong dal khichdi-  khichdi instant pot or cooker

Khichdi instant pot is a yellow turmeric rice and dal-based common recipe which is the most comfortable, easy, and quick food for many Indians and are usually made for day-to-day purpose. There are many ways it can be made with different types of lentils and different types of the ratio between rice and lentil.

The most popular and common lentil used is moong dal and this post is dedicated to it. there is a reason why it is popular. unlike other lentils, the moong dal does not cause stomach gas problems. on the other hand, it improves the appetite and hence it is generally served if you have a stomach or indigestion problem. Personally, I make it for myself and family lunch boxes as it is very easy to prepare in one pot and serve with green chutney or pickle, and papad.

Sabudana khichdi is also easy and famous recipe of all indian kitchen.
