Allow the kadhi to boil and thicken. Thickness is upon your requirement, I added some more water later when the kadhi seemed too thick. At this point you will lower the flame and allow it to cook for 20 minutes. Now put in the pakoras and allow them to float, cover the pot and let the kadhi be cooked for 5 more minutes.

For the Khichdi

Soak the lentils rice for 15 minutes after washing.
