The Process of recipe

🟫 Step 01

🍚We need a gourd to cook today's khichdi. I brought a whole gourd here.
🍚To cook today's khichuri, first I soaked the lentils here. They need to be soaked for two to three hours. I have taken a total of three types of lentils here.

**🟫 Step 02**

🍚Then I bought rice for khichuri here. Today I bought the kind of rice that is a bit thicker and is used to make khichuri, a little more than half a kilo.
🍚Now I peeled the gourd well, washed it, cut it into small pieces, and put them in a bowl.

**🟫 Step 03**

🍚Then I put it on my clean pan, and I add chopped onion, green chilies, and bay leaves to it.
🍚Then I'll add white oil here and fry the onions well.

**🟫 Step 04**

🍚Once the onions are slightly fried, I will add the garam masalas here.
🍚Then I will give all kinds of powdered spices along with ginger and garlic paste.

**🟫 Step 05**

🍚Then mix everything together and cook with water for two to three minutes.
🍚Once the spices are ground, I will add the soaked lentils here.

**🟫 Step 05**

🍚Then I will give you the chopped gourd here.
🍚Then mix everything together, cover it with a lid, and let it cook for about 5 minutes so that the lentils and gourd can cook a little.

**🟫 Step 06**

🍚Then, when it is slightly boiled, I will add the soaked and washed rice here.
🍚Then I will fry the rice and gourd well for about 5 minutes.

**🟫 Step 07**

🍚Once the rice is fried, I will add some water here.
🍚Then check the salt, and you will see that mine was a little less salty, so I added another spoonful of salt later.

**🟫 Step 08**

🍚Then you need to cover and cook on medium heat for about half an hour.
🍚After half an hour, when I lift the lid, I can see that my khichdi is ready, and look how neat it is.

**🟫 Step 09**

🍚Then, take the khichdi out on a hot plate and prepare it for serving with some chopped cucumber.
