Seeking an alternative from my standard stovetop khichdi, I recently tried a NY Times version. Do you need a recipe for khichdi? Not really, but here we are - and with pretty good results.
I halved the recipe, and then halved the water again because I was worried about the dish being too watery than cooked down - in hindsight, slightly more water probably would have been fine. I reduced the coriander as well to use approx. one-third of the recipe amount, but moving forward, I would omit entirely because of personal preference.
The recipe basically made itself in the Instant Pot, and I threw in some chopped up leftover spinach at the end as well which was a nice, healthy addition. Moving forward, I will probably add some other vegetables and maybe some cilantro or other fresh herbs for more flavor diversification. Otherwise, this dish as prepare was creamy, substantive, and nourishing. Perfect cooking time as well.
I guess you don't need a recipe for khichdi after all :-)
