Wash the rice and dal separately in at least 2 changes of water. Add the 6 cups of water to the rice and dal and cook covered for about 20 minutes until it becomes soft.
While that is cooking, chop up any vegetables of your choosing into smallish pieces. Add the vegetables to the cooked rice and dal mixture and cook 10 minutes longer.
In a separate saucepan, sauté the seeds in the ghee until they pop. Then add the other spices. Stir together to release the flavours. Stir the sautéed spices into the cooked dal, rice, and vegetable mixture. Add the mineral salt and chopped fresh cilantro and serve.
