| 1. Soak masoor and chana dals for a few hours prior to cooking. | 2. Boil rice with about 4-5 cups water and salt until grains are soft and firm. | 3. Just before draining the rice, add the turmeric powder. | 4. Stir to ensure that the color spreads evenly over the rice. | 5. Remove from heat and drain. | 6. In another pot, add the masoor and chana dals; cover with water and boil until the dals soften. | 7. In a separate small saucepan, add butter on low heat until it melts. | 8. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, bayleaves, cloves, cinammon, curry leaves and cashew nuts. | 9. When the seeds begin to splutter, add the onion and allow to heat till onion becomes translucent. | 10. Then add the boiled/softened masoor and chana dals along with the turmeric powder. | 11. At this point you can peel the lemons and add the lemon rind to the rest of the ingredients. | 12. Stir this mixture thoroughly to ensure a nice distribution of the butter flavor. | 13. Transfer this mix to the already cooked rice and toss or stir well. | 14. Squeeze two fresh lemons to obtain about half a cup of juice, add a tsp of salt to it, and then pour the liquid on the rice concoction, making sure to toss it thoroughly. | 15. Garnish by drizzling with dry parsley, coriander and a whole cashew. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
