Ingredients:
1 cup brown/green lentils
1 cup Basmati (or any long grained rice), pre soaked in water for 20 min.
2 large onions, sliced into rings
1 small shallot , finely chopped
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp fennel seeds
1 inch cinnamon stick
Grated zest and juice of one lemon
Few sprigs of cilantro/parsley for garnish
Salt to taste
Method:
* Soak the lentils for an hour. This is not necessary but I find that it helps to speed up the cooking process.
* Cook the lentils in about 2-3 cups of water. Bring the water to a boil and then simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the lentils get a texture of what in the Pasta world we call as 'Al dente'. Cooked but with a bite in it still.
* Meanwhile heat about 2 tsp of oil or butter in a skillet. Once hot add the sliced onions to it and cook until browned and caramelized. This takes about 10 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
* In the same pan, add 1/2 tsp oil (if needed) and add the shallot or use little of red/white onion (whatever you have in hand). Add salt and cook for 1 minute
* Add the rice and cinnamon stick and cook until the rice is aromatic and toasted.
* Add 2 cups of water, cover and cook rice - about 10-15 minutes.
* When the rice has absorbed all the liquid and is almost cooked, add the cooked lentils, zest and juice of lemon to this mixture. Cook for another 3-4 minutes for the rice to absorb the flavors of the lentils.
* Serve with caramelized onions and garnished with cilantro. I served mine with a simple Carrot Raita.
