Perfect for when you need a cheap meal or need to make something quick with pantry items.
By the way, Garam Masala is now a normal spice in grocery stores. Keep it on hand, it's wonderful!
INGREDIENTS:
2 T Canola Oil
1 lg Onion, chopped
1 T Garam Masala
3 C Water
3/4 C dried red lentils (rinsed & picked)
1 C long-grain rice
2 T Butter
Salt & Pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
Heat oil over medium high heat, add onions and stir frequently until they start to get brown around the edges. Add garam masala and stir for another minute or so. Dump in 3 cups of water carefully (water & hot oil you know – spatter city) and bring to a boil.
Add rice & lentils and return to a boil. Reduce to simmer and cook for about 20 minutes. I pulled mine with about 3 minutes to spare and it was still overcooked. But then again I cook on a gas range and managing a simmer on a gas range is as about as easy as juggling rabbits.
Stir in butter and add salt & pepper in increments until it tastes good to you.
