We had a craving for a hearty vegetable khichdi that utilized many type of legumes. We tried this recipe: https://ministryofcurry.com/khichdi-instant-pot/ This was a mild, but slightly over seasoned khichdi.
Our modifications: first, for the 4 cups of vegetables, we used 3 cups frozen mixed vegetables. We also used about 2 oz of fresh baby spinach, which we added after the khichdi had finished cooking. Second, we did not have fresh tomatoes, so we used 1 cup canned diced no-salt tomatoes. Finally, when serving, we garnished with fresh cilantro and with fried shallots for mouthfeel. (Feb. 2026)
