Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup basmati rice
1 cup orange lentils
1/2 cup brown lentils
1/4 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 tomatoes, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
salt & pepper
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 teaspoon ginger

Steps:

  • Add oil to medium size pot, fry onion until soft.
  • Add chopped tomato, carrot, tomato paste and garlic and stir until a bit soft, about 8 minutes or so on low heat.
  • Add dry spices to bring out their flavors and aroma.
  • Add rice and lentils, cover with water just a bit over the rice, approximately 2-1/2 cups or so, bring to boil, cover and simmer for approximately 40 minutes checking periodically to see if tender.
  • NOTE: The lentils may seem a bit tough even after cooking, but leave covered for about 15 minutes and before serving they will be fine.
  • Great next to chicken or a great vegetarian meal all by itself!
