* Step 1

Wash & Clean & Soak the Rice and Dal, at least for 30-45 mins time-set aside, also get all the tempering spices & masalas & ingredients ready/handy

* Step 2

Chop & Slice all the Veggies accordingly- as it should be & set aside...ready the spices & masala pastes...

* Step 3

In a frying/pressure pan: Add in the oil & ghee together (keep some ghee in store for adding it later while giving the final tadka/tempering)

* Step 4

Once the ghee-oil mixture heats up over the medium- high flame- Add in the whole spices (initial tempering) & Hing & sauté until it releases its awesome aroma & then add in the sliced-cubed potatoes & chopped onions

* Step 5

When done- Add in the rest all other veggies one by one- Add in the salt as per taste while, in another frying pan: heat up some more ghee-oil mixture, over a medium-low flame

* Step 6

Fry the paneer & the nuts- (if you’re adding them- as I did in it) & take out in a different plate & set aside

* Step 7

In the same pan: Add in now, the Rice & Dal altogether- adding some salt as well & sauté until a bit translucent while stirring continuously to avoid burning at the bottom of the pan

* Step 8

Now, mix the sautéed rice-dal with the already sautéed & half cooked veggies, add in the 3G Paste, Cumin & Coriander Powder, Garam Masala Powder & Sugar

* Step 9

Put the cover of the pressure pan now & allow it to cook for another 10 mins time/2 whistles, turn off the flame & let it sit until its pressure is released on its own

* Step 10

Now, time to put in its final tadka: In a Tadka Pan- Heat up 2 tbsps Ghee, over a low-medium flame & add into it: 2 Whole Red Chillies, Cumin Seeds, Hing, a tsp of Ginger-Garlic, finely chopped & 2-3 green chillies & 1/8 Cup chopped onions

* Step 11

Once they all starts splattering- turn off the flame & sauté rest of these ingredients in the put off heat itself & now, pour it into the Cooked Khichdi & gently give it a mix (Don’t at all over mix)

* Step 12
