I’ve been making this within the smaller immediate pot ever since I noticed this recipe! What goes in it completely is determined by what’s at hand. It is particularly good with quick grain brown rice.
For a 3 Qt (small) Instantaneous Pot, you need to use one rice measure, aka go, aka 3/4 cup, of rice, and the identical quantity of lentils, 2-4 cups of veg, and water as much as the 1/2 fill line. I cook dinner down greens (particularly tomatoes) some earlier than including water as much as the road.
When the child is residence from school, we now have him convey his massive Instantaneous Pot and simply double every thing (2 rice measures every of rice and of blended lentils), once more topping with water to the fill line after every thing else is in. It all the time comes out high-quality.
If I’ve additional tomatoes from the backyard (consider it or not, proper now in Texas!) I chop these up, in any other case I often use a can of diced and depend that as liquid.
Recently I have been including about 1/8 teaspoon of asafetida (hing) in with the cumin seeds – I can not advocate this sufficient! Typically I add coriander, or garam masala, use pepper flakes (even Aleppo), use contemporary scorching peppers (if there are some from the backyard), no matter is at hand or I am within the temper for.
I typically use Dealer Joe’s Coconut Aminos as an alternative of salt on the finish.
Thanks a lot for this recipe! It is turn into a staple. And like soup, it is all the time good, it doesn’t matter what goes in!
