Kicheree

Notes

  • 100g split green lentils
  • 100g basmatic rice
  • 1 tsp salt or more as to your taste (optional)
  • half teaspoon of turmeric (optional)
  1. Wash and drain the rice and green lentils together several times under warm water to release the starch.  Better still soak them for a few hours as with the method for making rice.
  2. In a saucepan, cover the rice and green lentils with two parts water.  So basically a third of your pan is the rice and lentils and two thirds is water.
  3. Bring to the boil
  4. Add the salt and turmeric and cook til the rice and lentils are soft – around 15 mins.
