I am blogging about Musical's Mothaan Di Khichdi for Blog Bites#1 event started by Nupur of One Hot Stove. I also made Ven Pongal & Eggplant Gostu for this event using rice cooker from Nupur and Sukanya's blogs. But since Nupur had already blogged about it (well, that's how I came to know about this recipe, in the first place!), I decided to blog about the pressure cooker recipe. I can't imagine my life without pressure cooker. I own 4 different types of them - Prestige regular pressure cooker, Prestige Handi, Prestige Pressure Pan and one small & cute pressure cooker. (Thanks to mom, mom-in-law & aunts!)I always wonder why pressure cooker is not so popular in the US? I mean with its energy and time saving benefits, I would think this versatile cooker should have been a regular appliance in every American kitchen.
I bookmarked Musical's Khichdi as it's a super comfort food. It's easy to make and nutritious too.

Thanks for a fantastic entry, Meera! Love that papad tucked into the bowl of khichdi.
I've tried Musical's recipe too and it is so tasty.
You have the whole spectrum of pressure cookers :)
I am not a pressure cooker person, other than making dhal I generally do not make rice etc in it. I always look see how people use the pressure cooker efficiently. I am in awe why my mother in law uses it for everything and makes everything in a jiffy.
Never heard of it. But definitely an interesting recipe.
Thanks! I am happy that you liked it!
Nupur:
Actually, thank you for this wonderful event. I am going to send one more entry tomorrow. Yup, too many pressure cooker thingies! :-D
Srimathi:
I have used pressice cooker for actually cooking as well as steaming. I think it's a wonderful appliance. can't imagine my life without one.
Spicy Tasty:
This khichdi was new to me as well. we make matki pulao but it's different.
Musical:
Thanks for your post, I discovered something totally different. Khichdi is always a comfort food.
Thank you so much for this lovely recipe! I also wonder why we Americans are anti-pressure cooker. In my case, my mother told me that they were very dangerous, so I never bothered to work with them. But I've seen so many wonderful benefits that I'm going to have to get up the nerve to use one! Do you have any recommendations, either for which cooker or resources on how to use it?
