    I upscaled this recipe for a larger family meal. I used 3 cups of lentils and 2 cups of basmati rice. I used a total of 7.5 cups of water as the amount of water suggested (6 cups) seemed way too much for 1 cup of lentils and 1 cup of rice to cook in the same pot. I cooked the lentils first for about 15 minutes (uncovered), then the rice was added for about 15 minutes more (covered). Texture came out pretty good, slightly mushy but lentils still held their shape.
