Preparation

Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven (use enough oil to fill the saucepan to a 2-inch depth) over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F/177°C on an instant-read thermometer.
Add the onions and fry for about 2 minutes, turning them occasionally, until crisp and browned. Use a slotted spoon or frying spider to transfer the onions to a paper towel-lined plate and set them aside.
In a small bowl, stir the coriander, ginger, chilies, and lime juice together and set aside.
Place the mung dal in a large skillet over medium heat and toast it for 3-5 minutes until it is fragrant and lightly golden. Transfer the dal to a large plate and set it aside.
Place the ghee, cardamom, cloves, bay leaves, cinnamon, panch phoran, turmeric, and hing into the pan and roast it over medium heat for about 2 minutes until the spices are fragrant.
Add the rice, toasted dal, cauliflower, potatoes and carrots and cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring often, until the rice becomes translucent and the cauliflower sweats.
Pour in 7 cups of water, increase the heat to high and bring to a boil. Toss in the peas, bring back to a boil, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 20minutes.
While the rice and dal mixture cooks, make the first tempering oil.
Heat the ghee and panch phoran in a large skillet over medium heat until the cumin in the panch phoran begins to brown. This will take 2 to 3 minutes.
Stir in the onions and salt and cook for about 10 minutes until the onions are browned around the edges and soft. If the onions begin to get too dark or stick to the pan bottom, splash the pan with a few tablespoons of water and scrape up the browned bits.
Add the coriander and stir for around 2 minutes. Follow this up with the tomatoes and chilli powder, cooking until the tomatoes are jammy. This should take around 6 to 8 minutes – do keep stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and set aside.
Once the rice and dal are cooked, remove the lid and use a potato masher to mash the mixture until only a few carrots and peas remain whole (remove the whole or large spices while mashing if you like).
Stir in the first tempering along with the remaining 3 cups of water. Return to boil and cook for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat. Make the second tempering oil. For this, wipe out the pan from the first tempering oil and heat the ghee over medium heat along with the cumin, cayenne and hing. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring often until the cumin begins to brown
Immediately stir it into the rice and dal mixture.
Divide the khitcheree between 6-8 bowls and top with some of the ginger mixture, a pinch of garam masala, the fried onions, and serve.
