Egyptian yellow lentils Koshary (Alexandrian vegan Koshary) طريقة عمل الكشري الإسكندراني

Cut the onion into julienne slices.

Sprinkle some flour on the onion slices to make them crunchier when fried.

In a small pan, fry the onion on high heat, stirring continuously until they turn a nice golden brown color.

In a medium pot, heat 1 tbsp butter and 1 tbsp vegetable oil used for frying the onions.

Add the rinsed rice to the pot and stir for 3 minutes.

Add the rinsed yellow lentils and all the spices to the pot, stirring for another 3 minutes.

Add half of the fried onions to the pot (this step is optional).

Pour in the boiled water just to cover the mixture in the pot.

Once the mixture absorbs all the water, cover the pot and lower the heat, letting it simmer for about 10 minutes.

While the koshary is cooking, boil some eggs.

After boiling, fry the eggs in 1 tbsp ghee and 1 tbsp oil used for frying the onions until they turn a nice golden brown color.

Serve the koshary garnished with fried onions and a side of tomato salad.
