Roast it on slow flame for 5-7 mins.

Combine the bajra sprouts with moong dal and rice, add salt and two and a half cups of water in a pressure cooker and cook under pressure for three to four whistles or 1 whistle and leave it on slow flame for 10-12 minutes.  Heat oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and asafoetida. When the seeds change colour pour it over the cooked bajra khichdi and mix well. Serve hot with kadhi .
