..I made it this weekend for the Nooster. During the week, she gets to eat stuff that my mom makes for her so over the weekends, I like to try my hand at making something fresh and healthy and ofcourse edible for her. This weekend, I tried this kichdi-cum-chicken pulao and Noo loved it. God, I was on cloud 9 for most of the day. No acheivement's felt better than this one.
Enough babble, on to the recipe.
Ingredients
1 tsp orange lentils (masoor)
1 tsp yellow lentils (tuvar)
2-3 tbsp rice
Ginger and garlic paste
Onion paste
Tomato puree
Salt to taste
Chicken stock
Left-over chicken
Method
Add a quarter of a chicken stock cube to half a glass of hot water and keep aside.
Heat a one tsp of oil, butter or ghee. Add a quarter tsp of onion paste and a quarter tsp of ginger-and-garlic paste and about a tsp of puree. When the mixture's started to brown, add the lentils. Add salt to taste. Add rice and stir well. Add the chicken-stock-water and cover and cook.
If you're going to add already cooked chicken, mash a cube with your hands, and add just as the last bit of water in the rice is drying up.
I served this with yogurt and Noo obsolutely loved it.
Maybe next week, I'm going to add potatoes and either a spoonful of zucchini or spinach to add to the flavor and fool Noo's tastebuds into thinking that this is a new dish.

A lovely dish Mona..You have a treasure of lovely recipes here !!
It sounds like a fancy khichdi to me :)
But I'm sure it must taste good. Since we are vegearians, I sometimes add the soya granules in the rice for a different taste/
I have tried similar ones with my son when he was a two, but with no success. I think he is like his papa on this. No khichdis for him. :(
Maybe I'm doing something wong??! :I
