Method:-
Heat
oil in a pressure cooker; add the whole spices. Fry for a minute; now add
finely chopped onions and fry till softens. Add Keema and salt; fry for 2
minutes. Now add Ginger & Garlic paste; fry again. Add chopped tomatoes and red chilli powder. Allow
the tomatoes to cook until mushy. Now in a separate pan dry roast Moong Daal till
it is light brown; keep it aside. Now check if the tomatoes are soft; Add Pudina,
roasted Moong & green chilies; now add 1 cup of water and pressure cook for
2 whistles then release the pressure and add 4 cups of water; allow it to boil.
Now spread the drain rice on a cloth and allow it to dry. This step has to be
done before you start cooking. Take the small jar of your mixer; put the dried rice
into it and grind for a minute; now open the jar and check it should have the
semolina like texture. Now check if the water has come to a boil. Add 1 1\2 cup of rice soji which you
made in the jar and stir well; stir slowly to avoid lumps and check for salt.
Add coriander leaves; mix well & allow simmering for 5 minutes. Add ghee. Serve
Hot.
NOTE: This Ganji tastes best
when eaten with Chana Daal or Masoor Daal vada which will be my next post.
