00:00Today, I'm going to show you a very healthy, nutritious, simple and quick Shorgam Khichdi.

00:06Also known as Jowar Khichdi.

00:08Let's begin.

00:09Here I have Jowar with me which is dried, sun-dried.

00:14What we need to do is wash it at least twice thrice over.

00:17And then soak it for at least 2 hours in warm water.

00:21The whole idea is to ensure that the Jowar or the Shorgam...

00:24...kind of just begins to bloom and that way it becomes easier to process.

00:28Now, ideally a lot of recipes that use Jowar or Shorgam use Jowar in its entirety.

00:35What I'm going to do is, I'm going to flake it up and kind of run it into a coarse powder.

00:41So let's do that.

00:42Let's transfer the bloom Jowar in a blender jar.

00:46Now the whole idea is to crush this till it's coarse.

00:50And what happens with that is the digestibility factor of the Jowar just gets better.

00:55Well, this way we need to grind this into a coarse little mass.

00:59And of course without water.

01:01Let's move on to the next step and that is to make a quick spice paste.

01:05Beginning with fresh Coconut, cloves of Garlic, couple of Curry Leaves.

01:11Chillies as per your spice level.

01:14And last but not the least, some fresh Coriander Leaves.

01:17We crush this as well into a coarse powder.

01:21Let's have a quick check.

01:22Well, I think this is just about perfect.

01:24Let's keep this aside and move on to the vegetables.

01:28Let's begin with Onions, cut them nice and roughly.

01:35Moving on to Carrots, and cut these into dices.

01:43And last but not the least, some fresh Green Peas.

01:46Let's begin with the coarse powder.

01:48And last but not the least, some fresh Green Peas.

01:51Let's begin with the cooking process.

01:53And this time straight in a pressure cooker.

01:55Lots of Ghee to begin with.

01:57Once the Ghee heats up, we add in seeds of Mustard.

02:01Asafoetida.

02:03And our vegetables.

02:10Time to add in Turmeric Powder.

02:12Our ground spice mix.

02:15And along with this, the Lentils.

02:18We add in the soaked and ground Sorghum or Jowar.

02:22Let's mix this well.

02:27We stir this well and add in the liquid.

02:30Now, you'd wonder how much liquid really.

02:33Now, in this case specially, I'm using a combination of Buttermilk and Water.

02:38One is to go with the water, the other is to go with the Lentils.

02:41So, I'm going to add in the Lentils.

02:43I'm using a combination of Buttermilk and Water.

02:471 is to 5 is the basic proportion.

02:49So, if I have used basically a cup of Sorghum or Jowar,

02:54I'm going to add in 5 cups of Water.

02:56Now, when I say 5 cups of Water, it means 1 cup of Buttermilk and 4 cups of Water.

03:01So, if you combine 4 plus 1 is 5, this is 1.

03:04So, 1 is to 5.

03:06Very simple, very clear.

03:07Let's add in the Buttermilk to begin with.

03:101 cup of Buttermilk.

03:13And 4 cups of Water.

03:20We stir this well and finally, add in Salt.

03:23And of course, by all means, we can keep adjusting later.

03:27We give this another quick stir.

03:31Cover the pressure cooker.

03:35And cook this under 3 whistles on medium flame.

03:38We're done with the whistles and with this off goes the flame.

03:41Allow the pressure in the cooker to subside completely.

03:44And after which, we will serve our Khichdi.

03:47Garma Garam.

03:48The pressure has settled completely.

04:08Garnish with Coriander Leaves.

04:26Not because I've made this, but trust me when I say,

04:29Possibly one of the most amazing, tasty, healthy, nutritious...

04:35...Shorgam Khichdi you will ever make in your own home kitchens.

04:40Now this recipe is all yours.

04:42This is me the Bombay Chef Varun Inamdar signing off.

04:44Bye for now.
