Answer:
1 Cup Small Grain Rice *
1 Cup Split Yellow Lentil (Moong Dhuli)
2 Large Boiled Potato – Chopped into 6 pieces
1/2 Cauliflower Head – roughly chopped
1 Cup Green Peas – frozen or fresh
1 Tbsp Ginger Paste
2 Tbsp Vegetable Oil – You may use any flavorless oil
4 Tbsp Ghee
1/2 Cup Water
3 Cups of Water (For soaking rice+lentils)
Whole Spices:
1 Large Bay Leaf (Tej Patta)
2 Dry Red Chili
2 Black Cardamom (Badi Elaichi)
2 Cloves (Laung)
1 Stick of Cinnamon (Dalchini)
Powdered Spices:

½ Tsp Turmeric
1 Tsp Red Chili Powder
2 Tsp Salt (As per your taste)
Step-by-step explanation:
Heat a large pot.
Add moong dal and roast it over medium-low flames for 2 minutes. (this brings out the nutty lentil aromas and the dal will turn slightly brown-pink).
Remove the roasted dal and add rice to the same pot.
Roast the rice for 2 minutes and transfer to the roasted dal bowl.
Soak the roasted dal and rice mix in 2 cups water.
