While that is cooking, prepare any vegetables that suit your constitution. Cut them into smallish pieces. Add the vegetables to the cooked rice and dal mixture and cook 10 minutes longer.
In a separate saucepan, sauté the spice mix in the ghee or oil until they gently fragrant. Stir the sautéed spices into the cooked dal, rice, and vegetable mixture. Add the himalayan salt and chopped fresh cilantro and serve.
