• 1 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 5 1/4 ounces long grain rice

1. In a medium saucepan, cover lentils with enough water to come 2 inches above lentils. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 30 mins, until just tender.
2. In a large saucepan, heat 1 tbsp oil over medium heat. Cook chopped onion, stirring, for 3 mins, until soft and starting to brown. Add spices and rice. Cook for 1 min then add lentils along with cooking liquid and 3 cups water. Season. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and cook for 20-25 mins, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Season.
3. Meanwhile, heat remaining oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Cook sliced onions, stirring, for 8 mins, until soft and golden. Distribute rice and lentil mixture between serving bowls. Top with fried onions. Serve with flatbread and lemon wedges.
