Dry roast the moong dal in a pan until it turns slightly golden. Set aside.

In a large pot, combine the rice and roasted moong dal with 4 cups of water.

Add salt, cumin seeds, black pepper, and grated ginger to the pot.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.

Cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice and dal are soft and well cooked.

In a separate pan, heat ghee over medium heat.

Add cashews, chopped green chilies, and curry leaves to the ghee and sauté until the cashews are golden brown.

Pour the ghee mixture over the cooked rice and dal mixture and stir well to combine.

Serve hot, garnished with additional curry leaves if desired.
