Ingredients
- 1 cup uncooked rice
- 1/2 cup green gram dal (aka moong dal)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons cumin seeds
- 1 1/2 teaspoons black peppercorns
- 12 cashews, quartered
- 1/2 inch fresh ginger, minced

Method
- Dry fry the green gram dal lightly.
- Put the dal, salt and rice in 3 cups water and bring to a boil, stirring often. Cover and cook about 20 minutes, stirring often until rice is soft and water is absorbed.
- Make a course powder of the cumin seeds and black pepper either in a morter and pestle or a spice grinder (I use a Magic Bullet).
- In a pan, heat ghee or butter, fry the cashews lightly and add the spice powder until it is scalded. Add the ginger and scald a bit more.
