Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a Dutch oven or stockpot. Add the chopped onion and carrots and sautee until onions are starting to brown.
  2. Add rice, lentils, spices, salt and 6 cups water.
  3. Bring it to boil. Partially cover and simmer until tender, stirring occasionally (30-40 minutes for natural brown rice, approx. 15-20 for white rice, or par cooked brown).
  4. Taste and adjust salt, curry and cayenne.
  5. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Tip: most of the spices are used in 1 teaspoon quantities. So rather than referring back to the recipe, I measure the cayenne, then line up the remaining jars and very quickly add a teaspoon each.
