Instructions

1
Cook the base until just done — separate grains for rice, soft mash for the rest.
2
Heat ghee and crackle the mustard seeds, then the dal, until golden and nutty.
3
Add the aromatics and curry leaves; fry until the kitchen smells like a temple kitchen.
4
Fold everything through the base with the spices, off the boil, so nothing turns mushy.
5
Finish with lemon and cilantro; serve warm or at room temperature.

Chef's tip

Day-old rice fries up drier and better — plan ahead if you can.
