Categories     Rice     Lentil     Boil

Yield makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons corn, grapeseed, or other neutral oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 tablespoon Fragrant Curry Powder (page 593) or any not-too-strong curry powder or garam masala (page 594)
3/4 cup dried red lentils
1 cup long-grain rice
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter, optional

Steps:

  • Put the oil in a large skillet or flameproof casserole with a lid over medium-high heat; a minute later, add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown on its edges, about 5 minutes. Stir in the curry powder, then 3 cups water. Bring to a boil and add the lentils and rice. Bring back to a boil, then cover and adjust the heat so the mixture simmers steadily.
  • Cook until the rice and lentils are tender, about 20 minutes. Uncover and, if necessary, boil off excess water. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the butter if you're using it. When it has been incorporated, turn off the heat and serve.

I found this recipe to be too spicy. I had to reduce the amount of chili powder by half.

This dish was a disappointment. The lentils were overcooked and the rice was mushy. The flavors were also bland.

I'm not usually a fan of lentils, but this dish changed my mind. The lentils were so flavorful and the rice was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this dish again.
