Khichra


Ingredients 

Onions - 1 large, chopped into thin slices
Ginger - 1 inch, chopped into jullienes
Fresh Green Chilli - 4-5
Canola oil - 2 tbsp
Shan Khichra Mix - 1 packet

Method 

Heat Canola oil.
Add Ginger and fresh Green Chilli and let it cook for a minute.
Follow the instructions in the Shan package. This needs to be pressure cooked.

After the pressure releases, serve in small bowls as you would serve soup.
Garnish with the onions fried into crisps.

The whole wheat in the Khichra has a unique texture. Adding the Onion crisps gives it a nice twist. We loved this dish - it was very filling, hot and delicious. However, lately, I am not finding it in our grocery store - hope I can lay my hand on some real soon!


Btw, this is supposed to made with Mutton - I kept it vegeterian and still it tasted out of this world!

This dish is being posted for dear friend Lori who had asked for this recipe quite sometime back. Sorry for the delay, dear!
