Method

  1. 1 Rinse the red lentils until the water runs clear.
  2. 2 Cook the rice and lentils together in 250 ml of water for 25 minutes — red lentils collapse quickly and need no soaking.
  3. 3 Steam the carrot for 15 minutes, mash it, and stir it in.
  4. 4 Red lentils are a good plant source of iron; the carrot, and a slice of orange afterwards, help that iron be absorbed.
