Add the cubed potato and stir fry everything for near about 7 minutes.

Now add the rice and dal mixture to the pan and sauté for 5 more minutes.

Add the chopped tomatoes now.

Saute everything together for 5 minutes more.

Add the turmeric powder and salt to taste now and stir everything properly.

Let the khichdi boil and cook it with constant stirring.

Once the rice, dal and potatoes are cooked properly and the khichdi reaches the right consistency. Yummy Potato Khichdi is now ready. 

Serve it hot with your favorite curry or just enjoy it as it is. You can also garnish the same with some green chilies and coriander leaves.
