Скачать или смотреть A quiet reset.. with Quinoa Mung Dal Khichdi ❤️

Quinoa and I had a slow start. Too “health blog” for my liking. Too beige. Too… not rice.

But then I introduced it to mung dal, and more importantly… to sambar powder. Because no matter how many superfoods I flirt with, I’m still a South Indian girlie at heart.

This isn’t just khichdi. This is quinoa trying to pass as wholesome and then the sambar powder barges in like, “Move, I’ll show you flavour.”Moral of the very short story: I may count macros now, but my spice hand will never be subtle.

Disclaimer: I was gifted a bottle of this Two Brothers ghee. But feel free to use any ghee or fat of your choice.

Recipe:
(Makes 2 portions)
1/4 cup Quinoa
1/4 cup split Mung Dal (you can use yellow or green)
1 tsp Ghee or Oil
1 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp chana dal (optional)
1 tsp jeera
1 tbsp curry leaves
1-2 cups veggies (use veggies like onion, carrot, green beans, radish, chayote squash etc)
1 tsp Salt (adjust to taste)
1/2 tsp Hing or asafetida
1 tbsp Sambar Powder (or use coriander powder)
2 cups Water
1/4 tsp Tamarind extract (optional - if you like tangy, sambar flavored khichdi)

For Garnish:
1 tsp Ghee
Hanful or coriander or cilantro leaves

Optional:
3oz firm Tofu - saute and add to the khichdi to increase protein value
