Instructions
Wash and soak rice & Lentil. Into the pressure cooker pot, take rice, lentil, Turmeric powder, salt and water. Cook till rice and lentil soft. I hear about 3 whistles.
While Khichdi cooks, blanch and puree the spinach. Wash spinach thoroughly in running water and put them in hot water in a pan Cover and let them cook till the color slightly changes. Turn off the heat ,drain all the water and transfer the spinach into iced water and cool completely.
Drain the water and puree the spinach through blender. Set this puree aside.
In a pan heat oil+Ghee on medium heat.
Add green onions and saute till translucent.
Add ginger, garlic and green chili and cooks for a minute or so.
Add green peas, stir, cover and cook for about 2 minutes or longer if using fresh peas.
Add salt if needed. I do not add additional salt as my ginger, garlic, green chili has enough salt.
