    • 1 tsp jeera heaped
    • 1/4 tsp hing

    For making porridge:

    • 1.5 tbsp porridge mix heaped
    • 3/4 cup water
    • 1/4 tsp ghee

    Instructions

    • Measure all your ingredients and get ready.Rinse the millets, first varagu,thinai.
    • Then moong dal,rinse them well drain water and let it dry under sun for an hour.Now start roasting, I started with thinai.
    • Roast until golden brown, the millet will become crisp thats the right stage,Switch off and let it to cool.Then add varagu.
    • Dry roast till golden,set aside to cool.Finally add moong dal roast until golden brown.Set aside to cool.
    • Then add jeera roast until slightly browned,then add hing roast for 2 seconds.Switch off.
    • Set aside to cool for sometime, then transfer to a mixer and grind it to a semi fine powder.It will be slightly coarse that you can feel the texture while touching.Allow it to cool down for few mins then store.
    • To make the porridge : Take porridge mix powder in a sauce pan,add water.Whisk well.Cook in low flame.
    • Keep cooking in low flame until it starts to thicken.
    • It will become thick in a while,more like this a thick sauce.At this stage add ghee and switch off.
    • Serve warm.

    Notes

    • The porridge mix powder keeps well for 4 months in room temperature itself.
    • This khichdi thickens with time so switch off accordingly.
    • Add more water as it takes sometime for the millets to cook as with rice.
    • I didn’t sieve as the mixture is coarse.
    • You can even add any vegetables with this.I usually feed this khichdi along with the poriyal we make for us.
