Ingredients

1 cup Basmati Rice
1/2 cup Split Yellow Mung Dal
3 tbsp Ghee
1 tsp Black Mustard Seeds
1 tsp Cumin Seeds
2 pinches Hing (Asafoetida)
1/2 tsp Turmeric
1/2 tsp Salt
4 cups Water[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_single_image image=”11745″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_outline” border_color=”green”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Method

Wash the rice and mung dal well. If you have time let the mung dal soak for a few hours before cooking, as it helps with digestibility. If you have a particularly difficult time digesting beans, you may want to precook the beans for 20-30 minutes using the 4 cups of water.

In a saucepan over medium heat, heat the ghee and add the mustard seeds, cumin seeds and hing. Stir a moment until the seeds pop.

Add the rice, mung dal, turmeric and salt and stir until well blended with the spices.

Add the water and bring to a boil. Boil for 5 minutes uncovered, stirring occasionally.

Turn down the heat to low and cover, leaving the lid slightly ajar. Cook until tender, about 20-25 minutes[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
