Ingredients
1
tablespoon
Ghee
1
teaspoon
cumin seeds
1/2
teaspoons
Turmeric
1/4
cup
Spanish peanuts
3/4
cup
Short Grain Rice
(such as jasmine or sona masoori)
1/4
cup
moong dal or whatever kind of split dal you have or a mix of them
1 3/4
cup

(one and three quarters, not 13 cups of water)
1
teaspoon
Kosher Salt
Instructions
Mix the rice and dal and rinse well
Turn your Instant Pot on Sauté and high heat, and when it's hot, add ghee
Once the ghee melts and starts to shimmer, add the cumin seeds into the oil and wait for them to start sputtering like popcorn
Add in the turmeric and let it sizzle so it doesn't taste raw
Quickly add in peanuts and stir around and then add the rice and dal
Stir until all of it is coated with the ghee
Pour in water, add salt, and set your Instant Pot on high for 10 minutes
Allow NPR and open carefully. You may meed to add a 1/4 c of water at this point if the rice has absorbed all of it.
Stir everything together and serve with additional ghee or a little yogurt on the side.
