Directions
Step 1
Wash the rice and moong dal together under running water until the water runs clear. Soak them for about 10 minutes to help them cook evenly and achieve a soft texture.
Step 2
Heat ghee in a cooking pot over medium heat. Add cumin and allow it to release its aroma. Add onion, ginger, and garlic, then cook until the mixture becomes soft.
Step 3
Add tomato and cook until it blends into the base.
Step 4
Stir in turmeric and salt to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Step 5
Add the soaked rice and moong dal to the pot. Mix gently so the grains are coated with the prepared base.
Step 6
Pour in water and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and allow it to cook slowly until the rice and dal become soft and start to combine into a creamy consistency.
Step 7
Stir lightly to achieve the desired texture. Serve warm, allowing the natural flavors to remain mild and comforting.
