Cook the lentils in water until tender but not mushy, about 20-25 minutes. Drain and set aside.
โฑ๏ธ 25 minutes - 2
While lentils cook, heat 2 tbsp of oil/ghee in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook slowly until deeply caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes. Remove half of the onions and set aside for garnish. Add turmeric and cardamom to the remaining onions in the pot and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Add the rinsed basmati rice, cooked lentils, fava beans, chopped fresh herbs (parsley, cilantro, dill, chives/scallions), salt, and pepper to the pot with the spiced onions. Stir gently to combine.

Pour in the water or vegetable broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover tightly, and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed. For a crispy bottom layer (tahdig), you can add the remaining 2 tbsp of oil/ghee to the bottom of the pot before adding the rice mixture, and increase the heat slightly for the first 5 minutes of simmering.

Once cooked, let the rice rest, covered, for 10 minutes. Fluff gently with a fork.
- 6
Serve the rice hot, garnished with the reserved caramelized onions.

- โRinsing the basmati rice is crucial to remove excess starch and prevent clumping.
- โCaramelizing the onions slowly is key to developing deep flavor.
- โIf using fresh fava beans, blanch them in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then shock in ice water before shelling for easier removal of the outer skin.
