    Stir the cumin through the lentils and rice.

  4. 4

    Season to taste, then serve topped with the crispy onions and salad leaves.

Use up the rest

Cooking this for one leaves 40 g mixed salad leaves. These recipes finish them off, so plan one later in the same week.

Good with the rest of your week
