I love black rice with my lentil curry. It’s a medium grain rice that’s simple to make. Once cooked this rice turns a deep purple color and a nutty flavor with a soft texture. This is a rich and hearty lentil curry, great as a main meal. It’s spicy, tasty and creamy. If you like curry, lentils and coconut you’re going to love this recipe!
