Directions
Got this out of the Orange Co. Register, tried it and it tasted great! Spray a large, heavy pan with non-stick cooking spray. Heat pan to medium heat. Add garlic, onion and ginger and cook until a golden brown. Add spices and cook for 2 more minutes.
Add lentils and rice and mix well. Stir in water and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low and cook cover, 35-45 minutes, or until the lentils and rice are tender and all of the liquid is absorbed. If necessary, add a few more tablespoons of water to cook until the rice is tender.
Remove from heat and allow to stand, covered, for 10 minutes before serving. Makes 6 cups.
