Cooking Steps
Rinse the brown rice and urad dal together until the water runs clear.
In a pot, add the rice, lentils, and 3 cups of water. Bring it to a boil over high heat.

In a pan, heat oil over medium heat.
Add chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it turns translucent.
Add ginger-garlic paste and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until the raw smell goes away.
Add chopped carrot, zucchini, and bell pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Add cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well.
Add the cooked rice and lentils to the pan. Mix well, ensuring the vegetables and rice are coated in the masala.
Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve with lemon wedges.
