    Sama Rice Khichdi Vrat Ki Khichdi

    Sama chawal is easy to cook and like rice, it increases in size when cooked.

    I have added potatoes to make this recipe more filling. You can make only rice from this millet and combine it with vrat ki aloo tomato curry.

    This is a very basic recipe. I have added red chilli powder, coriander powder, black pepper powder. If you don't use any spice then skip that. Add rock salt.

    Also read other fasting recipes like kuttu ke pakode/ chips, kuttu aloo tikki, sabudana khichdi, sabudana kheer, sabudana vada, sama chawal kheer, kuttu ka dosa on the blog. Serve them with some easy potato dishes like aloo jeera, aloo tomato, and dahi aloo.

    How to make sama chawal khichdi for vrat/ fasting?

    This is an easy recipe and hardly takes 10 minutes to cook.

    To make this quick fasting recipe, first, soak this millet in water for 5 - 10 minutes.

    Then heat the pressure cooker or pan. Add in ghee, and cumin seeds and let that splutter. Add chopped ginger and green chillies. Saute for a minute.

    Add chopped tomatoes and cook for another minute.

    Add coriander powder, cumin powder, and red chilli powder. Mix well.

    Add soaked rice, and water as per desired consistency. Season with salt.

    Cook for 2 whistles (pressure cooker) or 10 minutes (pan) or till millets are cooked well.

    Garnish with finely chopped coriander leaves.

    What Else I Can Add To My Samvat Khichdi?

    If You eat whole spice, you may add green cardamom, clove or laung, cinnamon sticks.

    Also, you can add roasted ground peanuts, other dry fruits like cashew nuts, and almonds for a better and richer taste in khichdi.
