Ingredients
- 2 cups red lentils rinsed
- 5 cups water
- 1 onion diced
- 1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 cups basmati rice
- 8 eggs
- 1 cup PLAIN yogurt
- 1/2 cup diced cucumber
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar plus 1 teaspoon for poaching eggs
- extra-virgin olive oil
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Saute dry rice with 1 tablespoon of olive oil on high heat in medium pot for approximately 2 minutes until toasted. Add 3.5 cups water and 1 teaspoon salt, bring to a boil, cover, and simmer until cooked (approximately 30 minutes).
- Meanwhile, toast cumin seeds in a dry large pot for approximately 1 minute or until fragrant, swirling as you toast. Remove and place in a small bowl or plate and mix with tumeric, curry powder, and cayenne.
- Saute onion and ginger in 1 tablespoon of olive oil until softened. Add garlic and saute for one more minute or until fragrant.
- Add spice mixture and lentils; stir until coated.
- Add 5 cups water, bring to a boil, and simmer until lentils soften, approximately 15 minutes. Add salt to taste when they finish cooking.
- Meanwhile, mix cucumbers, vinegar, cilantro, and yogurt together in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- When you are ready to serve, poach eggs by simmering water and 1 teaspoon vinegar in a non-stick skillet. Crack eggs individually in a measuring cup or custard cups, stir water to swirl, and drop eggs one at a time into the water. Cook for about 3 minutes or until whites are set and yolks are still runny.
- Serve by layering rice, lentils, poached egg(s), yogurt sauce, and fresh cracked pepper in a bowl.
