How to make it
1
Combine the rice, 1 1/2 cups water, and a pinch of salt in a small pot. Bring to a boil over high, cover, reduce to low, and simmer 20-25 minutes until the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked through.
2
While the rice cooks, rinse and dry all produce. Cut the carrots into 2-inch pieces on an angle. Peel and roughly chop the garlic. Roughly chop the cilantro. Peel and mince the ginger. Slice the chili pepper on an angle. Peel and slice the onion.
3
Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot over medium. Add the curry leaves and mustard seeds. Cook about 30 seconds until the mustard seeds pop — stand back as the oil may spatter.
4
Add the garlic, ginger, onion, and carrots. Cook stirring occasionally 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the garam masala, cumin, and turmeric; stir about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the lentils and stir to coat in the spices.
5
Add the vegetable broth and 2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce to medium-low, and simmer stirring occasionally 20-25 minutes until the lentils are cooked through and the mixture has thickened.
6
Divide the rice between 2 bowls. Top with the lentil mixture. Squeeze lime juice over each serving. Garnish with the cilantro and sliced chili pepper.
