Veg Kadambam/ Bisibele Bhath

Veg Kadambam/ Bisibele Bhath
- Aparna
1 cup toordal, 2 cups mixed vegetables (carrots, beans, potatoes, peas, bottle guard etc) . coconut grated  2/3 tablespoons, w cups rice.
For masala fry and grind  1 spoon corriander seed s, 1/2 spoon jeera, 1/2 spoon urad dal, 1/2 spoon chana dal, 4/5 red chillies, 1/2 spoon pepper corns, 1/2 spoon mustard seeds, 4/5 cloves, 3 green cardammom, common 1 inch, 1/4 spoon hing, 1/4 spoon haldi and curry leaves. Except haldi and curry leaves grind all the abv after frying on a  dry
Pan. 
Now incooker put dal, rice, all vegetables and the masala powder, tamarind juice and enough water for cooking rice. Add salt and 2/3 spns ghee  accordingly.now cook till u get 3 whistles.
You may add onions in the seasoning... Allow it to turn golden brown... The trick with seasoning - put in a spoon of the cooked items into the seasoning... It sizzles and lets off a great aroma... Then add the rest.
Second tip- I cook the dal, rice, veggies in pressure pan,  prepare the masala separately, do the seasoning, add tamarind paste, haldi, salt. Let it simmer. Add in the cooked mixture. I  don't take chances by adding salt, and tamarind in the cooker because tur dal may not cook well
