In a large bowl, add 2 cups basmati rice and 4 cups water. Gently wash the rice and discard the starchy water. Repeat this step until the water runs clear.
Transfer the drained rice to a thick-bottomed cooking pot. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon coconut oil, and 3.5 cups water. Stir briefly.
Cover the pot and turn the heat to high, bringing it to a boil.
Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to low-medium and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
Turn off the heat and let the rice rest for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, add 1/2 cup toor dal and 1/2 cup masoor dal. Add 2 to 3 cups water and gently wash the lentils, discarding the water.
Add 2 cups water to the lentils and let them soak while you cook the spices.
Set a pressure cooker (or stovetop/jiggle-top) over medium heat. For electric pressure cookers, set to 'SAUTE'.
Add 2 tablespoons oil to the cooker. Once hot, add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds and let them splutter for 1 minute, or until brown.
Add chopped onion, ginger, garlic, green chili, and hing. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until the mixture turns light brown.
Stir in tomato puree and spices. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until the mixture thickens to a paste-like consistency.
Add the soaked and drained dals to the pressure cooker, along with 2 cups water. Stir briefly.
Secure the lid and seal the pressure valve. Cook as per pressure cooker instructions.
Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally.
Open the lid and stir the dal. Add hot water and cilantro.
