1

Take 1 glass of jeera samba rice and 1/2 glass each of masoor dal and moong dal, mix them together.

2

Wash the rice and dal in a separate pot, then strain to remove excess water.

3

Spread the washed rice on a clean cloth and dry it in the sun, doing the same for the dal.

4

Once dried, grind the rice to a coarse texture in a mixer jar, and do the same for the dal, storing them separately.

5

For cooking, take 1/2 cup of each dal and rice, totaling 1 cup, and place them in a pressure cooker.

6

Add 3 tablespoons of oil to the cooker, then add the finely chopped onion and fry until soft.

7

Stir in 2 teaspoons of ginger-garlic paste and 1 teaspoon of green chili paste, cooking until fragrant.

8

Add 1/2 teaspoon of garam masala, 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric, 1/2 teaspoon of coriander powder, 1/2 teaspoon of red chili powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, mixing well.

9

Add 1 large chopped tomato and 2 tablespoons of water, cooking until the tomato is soft.

10

Add 100 grams of mutton keema, mixing it with the spices and cooking until slightly browned.

11

Stir in 2 tablespoons of peas and 2 tablespoons of finely chopped carrots, then add the ground dal and rice mixture.

12

Pour in 1 liter of water, mixing well to create a soupy consistency.

13

Add 2 whole green chilies, some fresh mint leaves, and coriander leaves, then close the pressure cooker lid.

14

Cook for 3 whistles, then turn off the heat and let the steam release naturally before opening the lid.

15

Check the consistency; if too thick, add hot water to thin it out, and adjust salt to taste.

16

Finish with the juice of 1/2 lemon and serve hot.
