Steps:
- In a 1 1/2 qrt. saucepan, heat 2 tsp. oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes, stirring, until translucent. Stir in the rice, bay leaf, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper. Add 1 1/2 c. water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside to rest, covered, for 5 minutes. In a separate 1 1/2 qrt. saucepan, heat the remaining oil over medium heat. Stir in the ginger, cumin, coriander, and red pepper flakes and cook 1 minute. Add the red lentils and stir to coat evenly with the spices. Add the reaming 1 1/2 c. water, season with the remaining salt and pepper, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes. In a large, warm serving bowl, combine the cooked rice and lentils, mixing thoroughly, and serve topped wit the sliced scallion. Note: If you can fine them, split red lentils imported from Indian are preferable to their domestic counterparts for this recipe. They're slightly smaller and firm, and will do a better job of retaining their shape and color after you've cooked them.
