Instructions

1
Add a tablespoon of olive oil in a pot and once it's hot add the sliced garlic clove. Once it begins to become golden add the rice. Stir for several minutes and then add about 1 3/4 hot water and a bit of salt. Add some peeled fresh ginger, curry powder, and turmeric. Cook on high heat for 7 minutes and then lower the heat and cook on low for 8 more minutes. If in this time the rice has absorbed the water and is still hard, add more water. Let it stand with the lid on for a while.
2
While the rice is cooking, take advantage and get ahead with the rest of the recipe. Peel the carrot and finely dice. Wash and dice the zucchini into medium-sized pieces. Dice the onion.
3
In a large pan add some olive oil. Once it's hot add the vegetables you have just diced and cook for 7 minutes.
4
After this time add the drained and cooked lentils and mix with the vegetables. Add some salt.
5
Once the rice is cooked, add to the pan with the vegetables and mix together.
