– 1/2 ts safflower
– salt … 2 ts for the rice … and 1 /2 ts for the sauce
– 1 tb ghee or butter
In a pot add the lentils …. then add enough water to cover around 2 inches above the lentils ….
Bring it to a boil and cook until the lentils are just cooked … dont over cook them or they will be too mushy .. you want it to hold its shape
Once the lentils are done … strain it .. and preserve the liquid that you cooked it in … this will be used to cook the rice later …
Now to make the tomato sauce …

Ps. some people like to puree the sauce after its done … its totally upto you
Now for the onions .. after chopping the onions .. heat some oil … and deep fry them until golden …
Be careful not to over fry them or they will become black quickly …
Cooking the rice …
In a pot … melt the ghee or butter …. then to it add the finely chopped onion … and cook it until slightly golden …
Then add 2 1/2 cups of the reserved lentil water ….
Ps. The amount of water used depends on the type of rice used … if you are using eygptian rice then add as much as mentioned if using different you have to adjust accordingly
To the lentil liquid … add the cumin ….
Then add 2 ts salt …. also add the safflower and turmeric …
