Instructions
In a large pan, heat oil + ghee. Add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, urad dal and cashews.
As the cashews and dal begin to brown, mustard and cumin seeds splutter, add fresh curry leaves. Fry for a few seconds and add asafoetida.
Now add finely chopped onions and fry until light brown on low flame. Add salt as needed.
Meanwhile dry roast peppercorns for 3-5 mins on low flame and once cooled down, grind into a coarse powder. You could also use a mortar-pestle to powder them.
Add cooked, cooled down rice into the pan and the powdered black pepper. If your rice is not cooked with salt, add salt for rice now.
