Wash mung dal and rice well. If needed to reduce air and gas, soak dal overnight or at least a few hours. Could also add asofoetida or hing to reduce gas.

Heat the ghee on medium in a large pot and add the spices and salt. Stir well for 1-2 minutes.

Add the ginger and coconut, rice and dal. Stir well again. Add all vegetables and the 6 cups of water.

Boil the mixture uncovered for 5 minutes before turning down the heat. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, until the dal and rice are tender.

Serve with fresh lime, ghee, fresh cilantro and Bragg’s Liquid Aminos if desired.

*If using the rice cooker, cut the amount of water.

*Be creative, change the vegetables, try using brown basmati rice, quinoa, etc.

*Try different smaller beans—red lentils, brown lentils, etc.

*Use fresh herbs—dill, basil, oregano, etc. Enjoy.
