<RecipeText>Rinse lentils and place in a pan with water.  boil for 20 minutes on medium fire.  Sauté chopped onions in oil.  Add onions and residue, seasonings, and rice to the lentils.  Cover and cook for 20 minutes.  Stir occasionally.  Serve on a platter—this thickens as it cools.  This may be eaten hot or cold.

Serves 4-6.

NOTE:  This differs from Mdardra in the Mjadra is always moist while Mdardra is always dry and flaky.
