Notes

  • If you prefer adding vegetables, cook and add it along with cooked rice dal mixture.
  • My spice mix doesn't have kopra so I added roasted coconut here to get that flavour. But if you are using store bought mix then skip coconut here.
  • How much ever ghee you add it absorbs so reserve ghee for serving. Add just half of ghee when its getting cooked just for flavour.
  • Add enough water for the rice and dal to cook. It should be gooey and not too dry.
  • I used homemade spice mix, if you are using store bought then add 3.5 tablespoon.
  • You can also add peanuts for garnishing, and skip cashews.
