Instructions
- 1Cook the lentils. Bring lentils and 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium pot or saucepan over high heat. Reduce the heat to low and cook until lentils are just tender (15-17 minutes). Drain from water and season with a little salt. (Note: when the lentils are ready, they should not be fully cooked. They should be only par-cooked and still have a bite to them as they need to finish cooking with the rice).

Chef tips
For perfectly crispy, golden onions, lightly dust them with flour before frying. Cook in small batches to ensure they stay crunchy and add a lovely texture and contrast to your Koshary. If the kids aren't fans of spice, serve the piquant tomato sauce on the side so everyone can customise their own heat level.
