Como fazer Persian Rice With Mung Beans Maash Polow

Rinse 1 cup of mung beans thoroughly under cold water.
In a medium pot, combine the rinsed mung beans with 3 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the beans are tender but not mushy.
While the beans are cooking, prepare the rice. Rinse 1 cup of basmati rice (or 1.5 cups for a richer rice-to-bean ratio) thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid, heat 4 tablespoons of olive oil or butter over medium heat.
Add 1 medium onion, finely chopped, and sauté until golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
Stir in 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cumin. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Add the cooked mung beans to the pot with the onions and spices. Gently mix to combine and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add the rinsed rice to the pot. Pour in 2 cups of water (adjust according to your rice type and desired consistency).
Add sea salt to taste (approximately 1/2 teaspoon).
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to the lowest setting. Place a clean kitchen towel between the lid and the pot to absorb excess moisture.
Cover tightly and simmer for 30 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is cooked through.
Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
Serve warm with plain yogurt, dibs (Iraqi date syrup), or mast-o khiar (Persian yogurt and cucumber dip). Enjoy!
