INSTRUCTIONS

1
Cook the rice

Combine rice, 1¼ cups water, and a pinch of salt in small saucepan over high heat. Bring to boil, cover, reduce heat to low, and cook until water is absorbed and rice is tender, 35 to 40 minutes.

2
Cook the lentil dal

Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring frequently, until onion softens, 3 to 4 minutes. Add curry powder and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add lentils, coconut milk, and 1¼ cups water and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer until lentils are tender, 28 to 32 minutes.

Finish and serve
