طريقة التحضير

  1. 1

    Rinse the rice and dal

    Wash the rice and moong split together until the water runs mostly clear. Drain.

  2. 2

    Temper the cumin

    Heat the ghee in a pot, add cumin seed and asafoetida, and fry until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Add rice, dal and turmeric

    Tip in the rinsed rice and dal along with the turmeric, stirring for a minute to coat everything.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Add the water and salt, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, for 20–22 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and porridge-like.

  5. 5

    Adjust consistency

    Loosen with a splash of hot water if it's thicker than you'd like.

  6. 6

    Finish

    Scatter over fresh coriander and serve hot, with a drizzle of ghee if desired.
