Chef's Notes
Do not rush the pressure cooker whistles! The texture of the khichdi relies entirely on the dal and rice breaking down completely into a velvety porridge-like consistency.
Pro Tip
Blanch your spinach in hot water for ten seconds before blending if you want to lock in that blindingly bright, emerald-green color.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
Failing to add enough water to the pressure cooker will turn your khichdi into a concrete-like brick that could literally crack your favorite serving bowl.
