Take another pan and add oil as well as ghee.  Temper with cumin seeds, pepper, curry leaves, chopped ginger, chopped green chilies and cashew nuts. After it is done add rava.

Roast the rava till you get the aroma and the colour changes to slight golden.

While roasting rava, start to boil the remaining water and salt in a separate pan.
