Step 1

Wash the lentils and rice and set aside. Chop an onion and put it in a pot over the heat with the lentils; when the lentils are nearly cooked, fry a cup of vermicelli and add it to the lentils with a cup of washed rice. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and cumin, and cook the lentils and rice until they are done using the traditional rice cooking method.
