Crockpot Chicken Lentil Curry

I adapted this recipe from this recipe from A Year of Slow Cooking.

1 1/2 cups dry lentils (I used green)
5 cups water
1 chicken bouillon cube (or you could replace some of the water with chicken broth)
3 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp parsley
1 finely chopped red chili
1 baking powder cut into 1" cubes
1 cup cooked chicken (I'm sure you could throw in some raw chicken if you don't have any already cooked)

Throw it all into the Crockpot. Give it a stir. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours. Serve over rice.

I'm really going to start taking pictures, I just keep forgetting until it is already eaten.

Mujadarah (Arabic Lentils and Rice)

It doesn't get cheaper, healthier, easier than this recipe. I think it is best served with Arabic salad.

1 c brown rice
6-8 c water
1 ½ c dried lentils
2 chicken bouillion cubes
2 t cumin
½ t pepper
2-3 T olive oil or butter
1 large onion
salt to taste
• Place brown rice and water in saucepan. Cook over medium heat about 20 min.
• Add lentils, bouillion, pepper, cumin and cook another 25 minutes, or until rice and lentil are soft (add more water if it needs it).
• Meanwhile, saute onions in oil until brown and carmelized (allow a lot of time for them to carmelize).
• Add onions to the rice/lentil mixture a few minutes before the rice/lentil mixture is done.
