Heat the coconut oil in a large pan (or pot) over medium heat. Once hot, add the whole seeds and fry for 30 seconds. Then mix in the fresh ginger,
turmeric, salt, and pepper.
Also, add the rice, yellow split beans (or lentils), and vegetable broth. Stir to combine and then bring to a simmer. Allow the mixture to simmer over low heat for between 20-25 minutes.
