Method:
1. Wash the rice and lentils, then soak them in a bowl of cold water for 20 minutes.
2. Gently heat the ghee in a large, heavy pan with a tight fitting cover and fry the onion, garlic, ginger, chillies, cloves, cinnamon, cardamoms, turmeric and salt to taste until the onion is soft and translucent.
3. Drain the rice and lentils and add them to the spices in the pan. Saute for 2-3 minutes. Add the water and bring the mixture to the boil.
