Sama Khichdi Recipe – Vrat Recipe by Archana’s Kitchen

We begin making Sama Khichdi Recipe (Vrat Recipe) by dry roasting the barnyard millets in a pan till it turns slight brown. Turn off the flame and allow it to cool. 

Then in a pressure cooker add 1 teaspoon cooking oil,

Once the oil is hot, add green chillies, bay leaves, cinnamon and crushed pepper corns and give it a good stir

Next add the chopped potatoes, carrots, tomatoes and saute until for a few minutes until they are slightly soft.

Add 2 cups of water for 1 cup of sama rice to get a creamy consistency. 

Let the water boil and then add the millet and cover it for 5 minutes and let it cook for 2 whistles.

Turn of the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally.

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with coriander leaves and squeeze in the lemon and give it a mix.

Serve your creamy Sama Khichdi with Cucumber Green Chilli Raita with Makhana Moongphali Ki Kadhi to enjoy your meal.
