- 1 small green chili
- 2-3 bowl water
- 1 teaspoon cumin aka jeera
- a pinch asafoetida aka heeng
- salt as per taste
- water for soaking and pressure cooking
Instructions
- Rinse the red lentils and rice thoroughly. While you chop the onion, tomato, and green chili, let the rice lentils be soaked.
- Heat sesame oil in a pressure cooker. Add the chopped onion and green chilies and sauté until golden brown. Add tomato, and cook until the tomato softens. Add spices and salt.
- Stir in the rinsed red lentils and rice, ensuring they are well mixed with the sautéed ingredients.

- Let the pressure release at its own. Top with freshly squeezed lemon juice and coriander leaves and serve the warm red lentils and rice with curd.
Notes
- Soaking lentils and rice help them cook faster.
- Make sure to add water just to soak lentils rice 1 inch deep in the pressure cooker.
- One may use one pot as well but that would need more water and careful stirring.
- Let the pressure cooker release pressure at its own for the best texture.
