When the onions are light brown add the cumin seeds, minced garlic, ginger and green chillies. Then add the red chilli powder, turmeric powder and garam masala powder together with the ground coconut.
  3. Fry for a while, put in the rice and dal and fry both for 2-3 minutes. Pour in warm water till it is about two inches above the level of the rice.
