1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/4 cup green pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 inch fresh ginger, chopped
1/2 cup dahl (a type of split dried peas), soaked
3 dried red peppers, crushed
2 tbsp garam masala
1 tbsp turmeric
1/2 cup pistachios
1/2 cup cashew pieces
2 cups cooked basmati rice

Heat olive oil. Add onion, green peppers, garlic, and ginger; saute 2-3 minutes.
