Oshi joor-rawtee (rice

Ingredients

 * 1 	c 	Mung beans
 * 3 ½ 	c 	Water
 * 1 	c 	Raw rice, well rinsed
 * ½ 	ts 	Salt, or to taste
 * 1 ½ 	ts 	Ground cuminseed
 * ¼ 	ts 	Pepper

Directions

 * 1) An odd combination but popular one when planning dairy meals, Mung beans are those from which beans sprouts are grown. A similar dairy combination is prepared in Bukhara indicating, through a study of their food, the probable community connections. 1. Cook beans in water over moderate heat for 1/2 hour. As green skins rise to surface during cooking process, they should be skimmed off w/a slotted spoon or a small sieve & discarded.
 * 2) Add rice, salt, cuminseed, & pepper & continue to simmer mixture over low heat for 1/2 hour more. It should remain moist. Serve warm w/same dairy sauce as is used w/Poloni
