Step 1

First, add lentils and 500 ml of water in a pot. Let them simmer until lentils are tender (20-30 minutes). Next, add the cumin seeds to a casserole pan on medium-high heat and toast for about two minutes. After that, add your onions and cook for 15-20 minutes, adding water and scraping the bottom when needed. Once the onion is nicely caramelized, scoop out roughly a third to use as garnish later. Now, add in minced garlic and the rest of the spices with the onions and let cook for 1-2 minutes. Add the cooked lentils as well as the rice and 700 ml of water to the casserole and stir. Let simmer under a lid for 30 minutes until rice is cooked (don’t touch – letting steam out ruins the rice). While you’re waiting, make the tahini (see also ‘Is Tahini Vegan? Best Vegan Tahini Recipes’) sauce by stirring the tahini, water and lemon juice together. Serve with a wedge of lemon, drizzle over tahini sauce (see also ‘Is Sriracha Vegan?‘) and garnish with the crispy onion bits.
