Spinach & Sweetcorn Khichdi

Spinach & Sweetcorn Khichdi

Khichdi is a very nourishing traditional Gujarati dish made with rice, lentils, bajra or moong. This Spinach & Sweetcorn Khichdi uses split moong beans, rice and enriched with ghee to make a wonderfully nourishing and filling meal for everyone of all ages (even babies!).

I used brown rice and cooked my khichdi in a pressure cooker to save time and to get my khichdi ready to eat in only 15 minutes. Whilst the khichdi cooks, you can get started on the spinach curry to help speed up the process.

The spinach curry water blitzed in a NutriBullet adds a delicious spinach taste and a sprinkling of sweetcorn over everything gives the dish a sweet crunch. Seasoned with a rich variety of spices like turmeric powder, garam masala and red chilli powder, this Spinach & Sweetcorn Khichdi is packed with all sorts of exciting flavours.

Although I used ghee, a clarified butter, you can make this meal vegan friendly by using vegan butter instead.
