Aachari Khichadi - Khichadi makeover

I just discovered that how to makeover your moong dal khichadi.

What you need (to serve two)?
1. Left over khichadi (two cups)
2. Onion - 3
3. Tomato – 2
4. Green Pepper (Mirchi)
5. Two table spoon Aachar masala (any aachar masala), I liked this recipe with either lal mirchi aachar or mango pickle masala.
6. Oil to fry
7. cummin seeds (jeera)
8. Red mirch powder.

Cut onion and tomato in small pieces. Remove excess water from the khichadi by frying it on the pan. If khichadi is already dry then it is ready to use. Put some oil in the pan (depending upon how much health conscious you are), put jeera when oil is hot, add chopped green chilies, add half of the onion. Fry till brown. Add half of the cut tomato, red chili powder, and dry khichadi. Fry for 2 mins. now add aachar masala and fry like you fry pav bhaji. Beat khichadi with flat spoon fast. Fry till it starts sticking at the bottom of the pane. Remove the pane and garnish it with remaining onion, tomato and coriander leaves. I goes good with jeera chass.
