17. Open the pressure cooker and with a fork gently fluff the khichdi. (Fluffing is
a great way to avoid the grains from sticking to each other and gluggy. This
will help to aerate the khichdi and remove any lumps, leaving you with light
and fluffy Khichdi.
18. Serve khichdi with choice of pickle and plain yogurt, if you like to spice up
the khichdi sprinkle some hot chili tadka over the khichdi (see below for hot
chili tadka)
