Boiled rice, dal, and vegetables

Ingredients

  • 1 cup (200g) mung dal
  • 1 1/2 cups (250g) medium or long grain rice
  • 1/2 cauliflower, separated into small flowerets
  • 4 medium-sized potatoes, peeled (if you feel motivated enough), and cubed.
  • 4 tomatoes, chopped
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp cumin seeds
  • 2 fresh chillies, seeded and minced (optional, the boys don't handle it)
  • 2 tsp grated ginger (go easy, the boys don't handle too much)
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp asafetida
  • 1.6 litres water
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 2 tsp turmeric
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Note: this makes a lot - recommend a half mixture.

Method

  • Wash the dal and rice under running water. Drain.
  • Wash, trim, and cut the vegetables.
  • Heat oil in a large pan and fry the cumin seeds, chillies, and ginger for a minute.
  • Add the ground cumin and asafetida. Fry for only a few seconds.
  • Add the potatoes and cauliflower. Fry, stirring, for 4-5 minutes until they become flecked with brown spots.
  • Add the dal and rice and fry for a further minute.
  • Add the water, salt, turmeric, tomatoes, and bring to the boil.
  • Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 30-40 minutes until the dal is soft and fully cooked. Make sure you stir occasionally to prevent the rice sticking to the bottom.
  • Squeeze the lemon juice over, season with pepper, and serve.
