How To Cook PERFECT FLUFFY LENTIL & RICE WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

[@phoenixmallen7508]

I made this with Green lentils as unable to find brown lentils here in London, believe it or not 😀 this was delicious and I can only improve on making this dish . Thank you Bumbi and you see an excellent teacher ❤️❤️🙏🙏🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🥰

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

So very glad to hear that you liked it. Thanks for trying the recipe and sending your lovely feedback.

Tesco, Asda, Ocado and other supermarkets sell brown lentils.

Dhanyavaad Bumbi 👍 Sorry to teach you experts but please 🙏 can I recommend Sella basmati 🍚 expensive but so very worth 4 minutes in the IP…. Lots ❤️❤️ Colin 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇳

Yes Sella is very good .

I'm Italian an cook time consuming Italian food every single day. To me cooking is a pure joy. I've just come across your video for the very first time and I'm definitely going to try this. To be a good cook you must taste and test as you go along and you cook with much sense and professionalism. Your voice is very soothing and you explain exceptionally well. I may well subscribe.

Welcome 🙏🏾, I am glad you are here. I love Italian food and a great fan of Lidia Bastianich. I love watching her shows and even have her cookbook. I am so glad you found my video useful. Thanks for leaving a lovely comment.

I prefer American food over Italian I'm patriotic.

​@@Thomas-ky3rl what is American food? Everyone in the u.s. immigrated from another country except the indigenous people. That's why the u.s. is described as a melting pot.

Another Italian here that loves food from all nationalities and I didn’t hesitate to “smash” the Like button on this after making the tastiest lentils I ever had. This also makes an incredible soup if you do not add the rice and use slightly less water. Thank you so much for this recipe and mesmerizing video.

Dearest Bumbi, I NEVER spent 25 minutes cooking onions and had a good laugh when I heard you say so. I've been wondering for many years why my onions never looked the way I thought they should! Just found your site and everything looks soooo delicious. I can't wait to get started!! Thank you so very much for lovely videos.

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Welcome 🙏🏾 I am glad you are here

[@aprilnovember6777]

Last year, I made this for my meal prep week and I swear I ate it two weeks straight and doubled up on the onions (the best part). I had some fresh dill that I needed to use and added to the "raita" and it was pure perfection! This is a regular part of my meal prep at least once a month. Thank you so much, Bumbi❣

Hi, do you mean the serving size? My recipes usually serve 5 to 6

[@MadnessMotorcycle]

I used bacon grease to caramelize the onions and added the bacon bits at the end along with the onions. I thought about adding some additional bacon grease instead of ghee, but the clarified butter looked so good on video that I went the extra step of making some to add in. It was delicious!!!

[@CurriesWithBumbi]

Whenever you caramelize onions, take them out as soon as you see them turning golden brown as they keep on deepening in color from the residual heat and the deeper the color, it starts getting bitter.
