Turn on the flame. Add ghee & then rava. Roast it in low flame. Keep stirring it for 5-6min. Don't let it turn brown. Don't cook it for more than 5-6min.

Keep the roasted rava in a plate aside. Then heat oil in the same wok.

Add mustard seeds,urad & chana daal.

When the daal turns a little brown in colour, add ginger & green chilli. Saute it for 5sec.

Add curry leaves & onion. Saute it for 10sec.

Add cashew nuts & peanuts.

Then add water. Let it boil till you get the aroma of nuts,chillies & ginger.

Slowly, add the rava and keep stirring it while adding it to the wok. Or else, it will get lumps & the whole recipe is spoiled. So, keep stirring the rava while adding it slowly to the water mixture.

In low flame, let it cook. Cover it with a lid. It's ready within a min.

Serve it hot with pickle or chutney.
