Ingredients:
Rava (semolina) - 1 cup
Split green gram/moong dal - 1/2 cup
Whole black peppers - 1 tsp
Cumin seeds - 1 tsp
Peeled and sliced thinly - 1" ginger
Cashews - about 1/4 cup
Salt to taste
Curry leaves to garnish
Method:
- Wash the green gram.
- Cook the lentil until fully cooked - mushy is fine.
- You can either cook this on a stove top or in a pressure cooker.
- In a pan, take about 1/2 tsp Ghee and roast the semolina until aromatic and lightly reddish. Set aside.
- In the same pan, bring 2-1/2 cups water to boil.
- Add salt and then gradually add the semolina making sure to keep stirring to avoid forming lumps.
- When the water has almost been absorbed, add the lentils and mix well.
- If you think that it is too thick, add boiling water to it. Dont add cold water.
- Meanwhile temper the rest of the ingredients in a ghee.
- Add it to the semolina-lentil mixture and stir. You can at this point add some more ghee.
- Serve hot garnished with curry leaves.
