विधि

1. Dry-roast the moong dal in a pan over low heat, stirring, until it turns a shade darker and smells nutty — this is the traditional bhaja muger dal step, do not skip it.
2. Wash the roasted dal and rice. Pressure cook with the potato, cauliflower, peas, turmeric, salt and water for 3-4 whistles.
3. Heat ghee separately, add the cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and bay leaf, and let them sizzle 20 seconds.
4. Add the grated ginger and hing, then the garlic-infused oil off heat.
5. Pour this tempering into the cooked khichuri, add the sugar, and mix well.
6. Simmer uncovered 3-4 minutes to bring everything together, then serve with a final drizzle of ghee.
