Soak the Rice separately and Bengal Gram dhal, Greengram dhal and Redgram dhal together for about 20 minutes
Clean, wash and cut the Beens, Carrot and Cabbage into small pieces as shown in the pictures
Wash the socked rice and change it into a pressure-cooker and add some water into it
Wash the above mentioned three dhals and add it with the rice in the pressure cooker. Also add the Beens, Carrot and Cabbage pieces along with the Turmeric Powder and Salt into this mix and cook it well (if necessary add required quantity of water)
Close the pressure-cooker and allow to cook the Rice, Dhals and Vegetables properly.
When the mix is cooked well, put off the stove and remove the lid of the pressure-cooker after some time very carefully and if necessary, add some hot water and stir it well to make the Kichhadi gravy.
Kichhadi is ready (for getting good taste, add some ghee in the Kichhadi and mix it) and it can be served with Pickle/Chutney/Curd. This a very digestive and healthy food especially, during Rainy and Winter seasons.

Myself, Sobha Kesavan, a retired Accountant in a MNC based in Delhi, where I was staying for 26 years. Afterwards, moved to Bangalore and stayed there for about 4 years and then shifted to my native place ( in Thrissur district), Kerala, along with my husband. My two sons and both daughters-in-law are working out of Kerala as Software Engineers.
I have immense passion for gardening and have been doing it since my stay in Delhi and most of
the ingredients (vegetables) used in my recipes are home grown. I am interested in cooking mostly North Indian and South Indian cuisines. The recipes shared in pachakam.com from my end would definitely tickle your taste buds.
I will be always looking forward for your valuable feedbacks or suggestions as there is always room for improvement.
