Ingredients
- 1 cup jowar flour
- 1 cup curd
- 3/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 2 1/2 cup water
- to taste salt
- 1 tbsp peanut oil
- 1 tsp jeera (cumin seeds)
- 1 tsp sesame seeds
- handful fresh coriander leaves
- 2 green chilies
- to taste pickle masala
- to taste peanut oil
Instructions
- 1In a large mixing bowl, whisk together jowar flour, curd, turmeric powder, water and salt until the mixture is smooth and free of lumps; set aside for 2 minutes to allow the flour to hydrate.
- 2Heat 1 tbsp peanut oil in a wide, non‑stick skillet over medium heat.
- 3Add the cumin seeds and toast for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn them.
- 4Stir in the sesame seeds and continue to sauté for another 30 seconds.
- 5Add the chopped coriander and sliced green chilies, sauté briefly (≈1 minute) just to release their aroma.
- 6Reduce the heat to low and slowly pour the prepared batter into the skillet, stirring continuously with a whisk to prevent lumps.
- 7Cover the skillet with a lid and let the mixture cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the porridge thickens, pulls away from the sides of the pan, and has a smooth, glossy texture.
- 8Turn off the heat and let the khichu rest, covered, for 2 minutes so the flavors meld.
- 9Transfer the hot khichu to serving bowls.
- 10Sprinkle pickle masala over each serving to taste.
- 11Drizzle a little extra peanut oil over the top for added richness and a subtle nutty finish.
- 12Serve immediately while hot, optionally accompanied by a side of fresh yogurt or a simple cucumber salad.
