| 1 cup | Basmati rice |
| 2 cups | Mung Dahl, (split yellow lentils) |
| 7 cups (approx) | water |
| Pinch | salt |
| 1 tsp | freshly cut ginger root |
| 2 tbsp | ghee |
| 2 tsp | mustard seeds |
| 2 tsp | cumin seeds |
| 2 tsp | fennel seeds |
| 2 tsp | cumin powder |
| 2 tsp | turmeric powder |
| 2 tsp | coriander powder |
| 1 pinch | Asafoetida, (Hing) |
| 1 cup | chopped vegetables, (zucchini, asparagus, squash) |
Directions
Wash the lentils and rice separately in at least 2 changes of water. Place aside. In a medium-sized pot, sauté all the seeds in the ghee until they pop on medium/high heat. Then reduce the heat and add the other powdered spices and ginger for a few seconds. Add the mung dal and salt. Sauté for 1 or 2 minutes. Add boiling water. Bring the entire mixture to boil and then simmer for 30-40 minutes or until the dahl is about 2/3 cooked.
Now cut the vegetables into small pieces. Add the rice and vegetables to the lentils. Stir, adding extra water if required. Bring back to a boil, then simmer for 20 minutes or until rice is fully cooked. Cook until there is minimal water remaining, leaving the lid on the pot.
Note: An alternative to cooking on a stove top is to add all of the ingredients to a crock-pot and allow to slowly simmer over 6 hours. Sauté the spices in ghee separately and add them to the entire mixture in the crockpot.
