Water- 3 to 4 cups (I used here 3 cups water, depends upon how much soft and thin you want)

Method:

Wash properly and soak the dal, rice in 3 cups of water together.

Heat a pressure cooker, add ghee, cumin seeds and peppercorns and saute for few seconds. Add hing, turmeric, dal and rice with water and salt.

Pressure cook for 3 to 4 whistles. When it is done, remove the peppercorn. Just whisk gently.  Serve hot with lime and lots of ghee ;) .
