Heat 1 tbsp ghee, fry rava for a few mts & remove.

Heat oil & ghee in a kadai & temper as given.

Then add curry leaves & onions.

When the onions are transparent, add the ground masala & haldi.

Now add 3 cups of water & chopped coriander leaves.

When it comes to boil, lower the flame & sprinkle the rava, stirring all the time.

Cook on a very slow flame.

Cut the tomatoes into 4 pieces.

Add to the mixture along with the cashews fried in little ghee.

Stir carefully so that the tomatoes are not mashed.

Add lime juice to taste.

Pour 1 tbsp of ghee all over & serve hot.

When the onions become brown, add the ground paste & switch off.

Do not boil & add lime juice to taste.
