  1. Is 3 mins of boiling enough to cook peas and carrot? or should we boil them ahead of kichadi preparation?

  2. @Kalyan. I used frozen peas and finely chopped carrot, it cooked quickly and also i mentioned the veggie to saute for 3 mins .After that only add water,at the time it comes to boil,Veggies are cooked by 3/4.Then after adding rava and when it comes to thick consistency everything is cooked perfectly for the given measurements.
