instructions
1
Cook the rice:
In a small pot, combine the rice, 1½ cups of water, and a pinch of salt. Heat to boiling on high. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer 20 to 25 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked through.
2
Prepare your ingredients:
While the rice cooks, prepare your ingredients. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the carrots into 2-inch pieces on an angle. Peel and roughly chop the garlic. Very roughly chop the cilantro. Peel and mince the ginger. Slice the chili pepper on an angle. Peel and slice the onion.
3
Cook the aromatics:
In a medium pot, heat some oil on medium until hot. Add the curry leaves and mustard seeds. Cook about 30 seconds, stirring occasionally until the mustard seeds pop. (Stand back as the oil may splatter as the seeds pop.)
4
4. Add the vegetables & lentils:
Add the garlic, ginger, onion and carrots. Cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until softened, stirring occasionally. Add the garam masala, cumin, and turmeric. Cook 30 about seconds, stirring until fragrant. Add the lentils, stirring to coat them in the spices.
5
Finish cooking the lentils:
Add the vegetable broth and 2 cups of water. Allow the mixture to come to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer 20 to 25 minutes, or the lentils are cooked through and the mixture has thickened, stirring occasionally.
6
Plate your dish:
Divide the rice between 2 bowls or plates. Top the rice with the lentil mixture. Squeeze some lime juice over the top of each. Garnish with the cilantro and chili pepper. Enjoy!
