    Utensils Used
    | 1. Rinse and cook lentils in plenty of water. | 2. Let reduce until there is about 4 cups of liquid leftover. | 3. Drain lentils, reserving liquid. | 4. Set liquid aside. | 5. In the meantime, in a skillet, lightly toast, one by one (just until you can smell them): poppy seeds, cashews and almonds. | 6. Put in blender. | 7. Add jalapeno pepper, garlic, and salt. | 8. Gradually add leftover lentil liquid (should be dark brown after reducing for at least an hour) and puree this mixture. | 9. Puree until smooth and pour into bowl. | 10. Add to this the green onions and cilantro. | 11. Next, sauté the onions in vegetable oil until golden. | 12. Add lentils and sauté for another 15 minutes. | 13. Cover over very low heat and let marinate. | 14. Cook basmati rice. | 15. Then, in a large pot, layer rice and lentil mixture. | 16. Let marinate and simmer over very low heat for about 1 hour (I usually put a dishtowel under lid to trap steam). | 17. Serve, topping with liquid mixture, and adding liquid mixture as you go. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
