Ingredients

Margaring/Ghee      2 Tbsp.

Method :

Wash  rice & dal together & drain nicely.
In the Rice cooker heat 1 Tbsp Ghee add rice, dal fry till the ghee coats the mixture.
Add the rest of Ingredients,except Cashews ;add  water cover & Cook.
Keep testing the water level & stir frequently as it has a tendency to stick to the bottom.
When rice gets fully mashed - Garnish with Cashews .
Serve hot with Gojju .


Note : Cooking in a rice Cooker makes it easier to test & waiting time for pressure release is saved.
I am using all powders since I have noticed the people wating the whole/partial grind peppers &
is very helpful for children too.
