This goes very well with curry, or stir-fry or by itself. The brown rice and lentils add a nutty taste and make it more diabetic-friendly.

Instructions for Healthy Indian Pulao

If using a rice cooker add all ingredients and start the cycle. It should take about 25 minutes to complete.

Otherwise place all ingredients in a heavy saucepan and bring it to a boil. Allow to boil for about 3-4 minutes, stir briefly, then cover the pot and reduce heat to a simmer. Let it simmer, covered and undisturbed, for 20 - 25 minutes. Watch the steam level leaking from the edges of the cover. When it drops off markedly you're close to done. Turn off the heat and allow it to steam, still covered, for 5-10 minutes.
