CORN KITCHADI


This is an easy recipe with broken corn and vegetables.  Normally we make kitchadi with rava and semiya and this is made by corn.  It was awesome even without any chutney. Adding ginger is an extra flavour and the aroma will tempt us to have more :-)

INGREDIENTS:

Broken corn         - 1 cup
Onion                   - 1 finely chopped
Tomato                - 1 finely chopped
Ginger                 - 1 inch grated
Green chillies      - 2
Peas                     - 1/4 cup
Salt                      - as needed
Ghee                    - 1 tsp
Water                   - 3 cups

To temper:

Oil                        - 1 tsp
Mustard seeds      - 1/4 tsp
Channa dhal         - 1 tsp
Curry leaves         - few

HOW TO MAKE:

Heat oil in a pressure pan / cooker.  Splutter mustard seeds add channa dhal.  Add curry leaves.  Fry chopped onions and grated ginger.  Slit the green chillies and add. When the onion turned into transparent add chopped tomatoes.  Blend well.




Add peas and mix well.  Add enough salt.  Add broken corn and mix well with the mixture.  Close the lid and allow three whistles.  Once the steam released add a tsp of ghee and mix well.


Serve hot with any sambar or chutney of your choice.  This kitchadi can be eaten without any chutney too.



TIPS:

I added three cups of water 1:3.  For upma two cups water is enough.

Adding more water will be very watery and 1:3 is the perfect measure for kitchadi.

Mixed vegetables can be added.

Bay leaf or other masalas can be tempered.
