PROCEDURE

Boil the water and add a table spoon of oil and a big pinch of salt. Add the ravva and cook the ravva till it is completely cooked.
Adjust the water as required. If the ravva is very fine it requires less water and if it is coarse it requires more water.
Let the cooked ravva cool off completely.
Heat a pan and add the oil along with the tadka ingredients( all the dals, cashews, peanuts, mustard, hing, chilies, curry leaves.)
Fry the tadka till the dals and nuts turn golden color.
Now add the turmeric and add the entire tadka to the cooked ravva.
Add the lemon juice and salt(if you have not  added salt while cooking ravva).
Mix well and let the pulihora set for 2 to 3 hours.
Enjoy with any pickle and curd.
