Cook the dal and keep aside. Do not over cook the dal. Fry the rava brown in a little ghee. Grind the pepper corns and cumin seeds into a coarse powder. Heat the remaining ghee in a thick-bottomed
vessel and add cashewnuts and the pepper corn and cumin mixture and the ginger. When the pepper corn and cumin crackles, add 1/2 litre of water and the rava. Stir the ingredients constantly until
