Recipe by Linda McCartney (Linda McCartney On Tour from 1998)
Rinse the rice with the lentils in a large sieve
In a large frying pan, heat the butter, margarine or ghee and fry the spices over a medium heat. When they sizzle and crackle, add the chopped onions and ginger and fry until golden brown.
Next, add the prepared vegetables, rice, lentils and salt and stir in the water. Stir and simmer for approximately 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked, adding more water if necessary. Stir and serve sprinkled with cashew nuts.
