{{Template:AdvancePreparation}}

A vegetarian slant on the popular Indian breakfast dish that is perfect for a light supper or snack.

This recipe does '''not''' need preparing in advance, but as supermarkets seem unable to sell ripe avocados at a reasonable price, if at all, it might be worth buying unripe avocados, leaving them on a window sill until nice and soft and making this recipe when they are just right.

===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Soak the [[Rice|rice]] and [[Lentils|lentils]] in cold water for 10 minutes, drain well.
| Heat the [[Oil|oil]] and [[Butter|butter]] in a large pan and [[Sautee|sautee]] the [[Onion|onion]] gently for 5 minutes
| Add the crushed garlic and the korma paste and [[Stir-fry|stir-fry]] for a few minutes
| Tip in the [[Rice|rice]] and [[Lentils|lentils]] and [[Bay leaf|bay leaf]], stir to coat with [[Oil|oil]].
| Add the [[Stock|stock]], stir once and bring to the [[Boil|boil]].
| [[Simmer|Simmer]], covered for 15 minutes - check that the lentils and rice are properly cooked. If they are not cooked after 15 minutes, sprinkle a little more water over them if they are drying out and give them another 5 minutes. Some lentils take longer than others.
| Peel and [[Dice|dice]] the [[Avocado|avocado]] and toss in the [[Lemon juice|lemon juice]], chop the [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]] and [[Coriander|coriander]] and mix in with the [[Avocados|avocados]].

}}
===Serving suggestions===
Serve garnished with [[Lime|lime]] slices.

After making this a few times we discovered that raw onions with a splash of lemon juice made a contrasting and refreshing garnish.
===Variations===
A few [[Nuts|nuts]] or [[Toasted|toasted]] [[Almonds|almonds]] would be nice added at the last minute.

Add 3 or 4 cloves of peeled and crushed garlic with the onions.
===Chef's notes===
The prepared Indian curry pastes are a [[cheat]], but a great stand-by for recipes like this. If you have your own fresh [[Spices|spices]] they you will know what to use to make an equivalent fresh [[Spice|spice]] mix.
