How to make dheeli or soft Khichdi in an instant pot?

Follow vspiceroute for easy recipes 

Khichdi is a staple food in an Indian household and it is something I grew up eating and so did my son. I make Khichdi once a week for my son and he throughly enjoys it. Khichdi with kadhi and athanu is one of my favorites. Even though it may sound easy to make it, you can still go wrong when making Khichdi in an instant pot. The key is the ratio of rice dal mixture to water. Try out this method and hopefully your khichdi will come out perfect every time. I have been making Khichdi on delayed timer since nirvaan was a toddler, it’s a no brainer and I always come back home to hot khichdi. Whenever I have to work I prep khichdi for dinner at least once a week. 

This can also be eaten during Paryushan 

I use Surti kolam or sona masoori rice for khichdi 

If the rice and dal is soaked / using delay timer 
Rice/dal mixture to water should be 1:3.5 
 [For example if using 1/2 cup dal and 1/2 cup rice = 1 cup and ratio would be 1 cup mixture : 3.5 cups water ]
Cook time 30 minutes on high pressure and let it self release 

If rice and dal are not soaked and not using delayed timer 
Rice/dal mixture  to water should be 1:5.5 
Cook time 30 minutes on high pressure and let it self release
