200 gram(s) Uncooked White Rice
150 grams Carrots, raw
100 grams Peas, frozen

Tips
I use ghee because the flavour you get is just different as opposed to using oil.
Directions
Prep: Wash and soak the rice and lentils separately. Dice the carrots.
Directions: In a wok, heat the ghee (clarified butter), then add in the cardamom, bay leaf, cumin and cloves. Add the carrots and saute for 2 minutes, add the peas in and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove rice and lentils from the water, and first add rice, stir for a minute and then add in the lentils. Throw in the salt, stir, add water- just enough for the whole thing to be soaked and water to be about 2 inches above it. Let it cook.
Serves with fresh yoghurt or a condiment of your choice.
Serving Size: Makes 4 hearty servings.
