Curried Lentils and Rice
Instructions
1. Heat the oil over medium high in a large Dutch oven. Add curry, black pepper, mustard seeds and onion. Cook stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes, or until onions are soft. Add water and bring to a boil.
2. Add the lentils, reduce heat and simmer for 8 minutes. Bring the liquid back to a vigorous boil and add the rice; boil for 5 minutes. Again reduce the heat to a simmer; cover and cook 7-8 minutes longer, until the rice and lentils are nearly cooked through. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 5 minutes.
3. Stir in the cilantro, Friendship® Sour Cream and salt. Taste, and correct seasonings with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
