Oshi joor-rawtee (rice and mung beans, afghani)

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Mung beans
3½ cup Water
1 cup Raw rice; well rinsed
½ teaspoon Salt; or to taste
1½ teaspoon Ground cuminseed
¼ teaspoon Pepper

Directions

An odd combination but popular one when planning dairy meals, Mung beans are those from which beans sprouts are grown. A similar dairy combination is prepared in Bukhara indicating, through a study of their food, the probable community connections. 1. Cook beans in water over moderate heat for ½ hour. As green skins rise to surface during cooking process, they should be skimmed off w/a slotted spoon or a small sieve & discarded. 2. Add rice, salt, cuminseed, & pepper & continue to simmer mixture over low heat for ½ hour more. It should remain moist. Serve warm w/same dairy sauce as is used w/Poloni (see AFGHAN.009). Serve 4 to 6.
