| 1. Soak lentils in 2 cups water for 2 hours. Bring to a boil, then cook over low heat for 1/2 hour or until soft. Most of the water should be evaporated or absorbed. Set aside. | 2. Soak the rice in lightly salted water for 1/2 hour. Pour off nearly all the water. Put the rice in a pan with 3 cups boiling water. Cook the rice over moderate heat for 10 minutes (partly cooked). | 3. Drain and rinse rice under cold water. Drain and set aside. | 4. Put 2 tablespoons oil in a pan large enough to hold potato slices in a single layer. | 5. Add the broth, turmeric and coriander seeds and shake pan briskly to mix. Arrange the potato slices to fit the bottom of the pan. | 6. Mix the lentils and rice together and spread the mixture over the potato slices, but shape it into a pyramid. | 7. Cover the pan and cook over low heat for 10 minutes. | 8. Sprinkle remaining 2 tablespoons oil over the rice. Cover the pan with paper towels, and place lid on top. | 9. Cook over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes more to develop a crisp crust. | 10. Serve warm. | 11. Serves 4 to 6 as a side dish. | 12. Variation: Omit coriander seeds and add 2/3 cup raisins to the lentil/rice mixture. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
