Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation of Rice and Lentils

  1. 1

    Rinse and Soak

    Rinse the basmati rice and yellow split lentils under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak them in water for about 30 minutes, then drain.

  2. 2

    Cook Rice and Lentils

    In a large pot, add the soaked rice and lentils, turmeric, grated ginger, and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 20-25 minutes, until the rice and lentils are tender and the water is absorbed.

Cooking Vegetables

  1. 3

    Prepare Vegetables

    While the rice and lentils are cooking, prepare the vegetables. Dice the beets, carrots, and slice the cauliflower and broccoli into florets.

  2. 4

    Steam the Vegetables

    In a steaming basket over boiling water, steam the diced beets, cauliflower, broccoli, and carrots for about 10-15 minutes until they are tender but still vibrant in color.

Assembly

  1. 5

    Combine and Serve

    Once the rice and lentils are cooked, fluff them with a fork. Serve the rice and lentil mixture topped with the steamed vegetables. Add sliced avocado on top.

  2. 6

    Garnish

    Spoon coconut yogurt over the dish, sprinkle with chopped cilantro, and finish with a squeeze of lime juice.
