Tips and Tricks
1 The TTK Prestige Pressure Cooker will be perfect for making khichdi. Pick a 3-5L cooker for a small family. The base will heat the cooker evenly, giving you a perfectly cooked khichdi.
2 To make the tempering, you can use Prestige Hard Anodised Cookware Tadka Pan. The scratch-resistant hard anodised material will also be perfect for cooking at the high temperatures required for the tadka.
3 Once the khichdi is ready, let the cooker cool down before scrubbing. Also, avoid using harsh scrubbers and chemicals on stainless steel and hard anodised cookware.
4 If you want to wait for some time before serving the khichdi, keep the lid of the cooker sealed. The insulated walls of the pressure cooker will keep the khichdi fresh without making it dry.
