Cooking > rice, lentils >

This recipe is quite simple and easy to make. I wanted to use a rice cooker, but I avoided it. I used basmati instead, and just let it happen.

The result was pretty straightforward.. I’d even call it pretty bland to the palate. I wouldn’t use this as a primary dish.. I might be more likely to put some kind of fun curry sauce or curried meat/veggies over it.

• Medium saucepan

• 2 cups of brown rice (I prefer basmati)

Rinse your rice before you use it!

• + 1 cup of dried whole green lentils

• + 6 cups of water

You can use whatever amount of rice and lentils if you maintain the 2:1 water:stuff ratio.

Bring it to a boil.

Once its boiling, turn it to low, then toss in whatever else.

• + raisins

Cook for 45 minutes (until the water is soaked up)

• Add curry powder, cayenne pepper, soy sauce to taste. Maybe add a little salt if you don’t use soy sauce.
