Instructions
- Soak the moong dal in warm water for 10 mins

- Add a little salt and cook till the onions become translucent.
- Add the ginger garlic paste and cook in medium flame for 2 minutes.

- Let this boil and get cooked well. Add a little more water if you want to get the right consistency.
- Once it completely done switch off the flame and add coconut milk. I used store-bought light coconut milk.
- If you don’t have coconut milk you can add a few grated coconut.
- Garnish with coriander leaves.
- If you are making with rice wash the rice and spread it on a clean towel.
- Once the moisture is absorbed completely pulse it a few times in the mixie.
- This will give a semi-broken rice, we call this as noi or kurunai.
- Washing and drying process ensures even pulsing of the rice.
- You can pressure cook it for 2-3 whistles while making with rice.

This is basically north Indian khichdi recipe
This is a bit different as the consistency is different and also mint leaves, whole spices, and coconut milk gives a unique and nice flavour.
