Heat a wok, and pour in the oil or ghee.
Add in the seasonings one by one and fry till the dals

Stir for a moment, add in the water, and salt.
You can add in the green peas now if you are using.
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and add in the rava little by little,
while stirring it slowly. Stir well so that all the spices
are mixed well. Close with a lid and let it cook ,
on a very, very slow flame. Stir now and then cook till all the
water is absorbed. Now add in the fresh coconut and stir well.
Remove from the stove and garnish with coriander leaves.
Serve with the chutney of your choice.
