Made this last night! AWESOME! Glad I read some of the reviews as I took the advice and added spices (cumin, masala, extra salt). I did cook garlic with the onions in olive oil for a long time, almost blackened them, but an absolute to achieve the nice flavor as most mentioned. As for water, I followed the directions on my lentils about 6 cups to cover the lentils. When I added the Basmati rice, added a more water to cover. I MADE A LOT! I used yogurt as well...delicious. Hubby loved it, 5yr old not so much, 3yr-NOT, and 13 month old loved it! This dish was a side to my grilled karahi masala spice blend for chicken, also, sauteed spinach in same pan as the onions and garlic with a few spices, and a cucumber tomato feta greek salad. Yes, a mixture of cultures but I love Indian, Arabic, and greek foods...all together! This dish will become a staple in our home as well. Thank goodness for the reviews! Helped a lot!
