An authentic Kongunadu Recipe. We often prepare this at our homes for lunch. The name only states it’s just cooked with the rice and the lentil with seasoning. We mix sesame oil a tsp or ghee a tsp with this rice before eating. One of my all time favorite recipes, not because it’s simple, it tastes really simple and good.
