Easy rice with red lentils
My mum would make this #easy #rice with #red #lentils dish called #kitchuri whenever it was a rainy day. This is a filling recipe as the red lentils is has lots of protein. This is also a perfect recipe for vegetarians. I love eating this rice with fried eggplant, eggs, and a tomato salad.
If you have time, soak the rice and lentils for around 20 mins. But if you don’t have time you can skip that step.
