Indian Rice Black Beans

2 cups brown rice, presoaked (I usually don’t bother)
1 cup split black beans, presoaked (urad dal)
6-1/4 cups water
salt to taste
6 black peppercorns
2 dried red chilies
1/2 teaspoon turmeric
1 tablespoon veggie broth
pinch of asafoetida powder (hing)*
1 teaspoon cumin

Directions ::..

In a large pot, cook rice and urad dal together in the 6-1/4 cups water along with the salt, peppercorns, chilies and turmeric. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook about 10 minutes.

Lower heat and simmer until everything is done, about 30 to 40 minutes.

Heat veggie broth in a skillet and saute asafoetida and cumin about 2 minutes.

Pour spice mixture over the rice and beans and serve hot.
