Smoked Khichdi wit Butter Garlic Prawns!


(Though this dish was made by me totally by following my instincts, and yes like
 my blog suggests was dreaming of the recipe ;) but a friend mentioned this is 
similar to a dish named Prawns n Grit in america)

Always loved having khichdi, but usually had it with veggies or plain or with mirch
 ka tadka but this time I thought of giving a twist to Khichdi, n believe me the flavor 
& combo was Beautifullll !


Ingredients for Butter Garlic Prawns:

10 medium sized prawns
1 tbsp chopped garlic
1 tbsp chopped ginger
1 tsp crushed pepper
Butter +1 tsp oil
salt
curry leaves
lemon juice
2 green chillies chopped

Method:

Marinate the prawns with lemon juice,salt n pepper n keep aside for 1/2 hour.
Heat the butter + oil in a pan,Splutter the curry leaves n green chillies. Add the
 ginger n garlic n saute till golden brown.Now add the parwns n cook for 5 minutes
 on high heat till well done.Take off heat n Garnish with more lemon juice !

Ingredients for Khichdi !

1/2 cup red split lentils (masoor dhuli dal)
1 cup rice
1/2 tsp ajwain (carom)
1 tsp chopped ginger
salt
haldi (turmeric)
1 tbsp Ghee/Butter
water

Method for khichdi:

Heat 1 tbsp ghee in a pressure cooker ,add in the the ginger n ajwain.Put in the dal,
rice, haldi ,salt n water (water good enough to cover the dal n rice).Close lid n 
pressurize with 2 whistles.Open after 15 minutes n now get ready as its Smokin Time

To smoke the khichdi:

Place a katori (steel bowl)on the khichdi, Burn a piece of coal ,place it in a katori n immediately 
put some ghee n close the lid.Allow it to smoke for 10 minutes till its lends beautiful 
flavor to the khichdi.Take the katori out n top the khichdi wit Hot Butter Garlic prawns.
