         Title: Asghar's Lobia Chawal (Red Beans With Rice)   
    Categories: Indian, Pakistani   
         Yield: 6 Servings   
       
         2 c  Basmati rice   
         1 c  Red beans;   
              - rinsed & soaked overnight   
         2 ts Salt; or to taste   
         1 tb Cumin seeds   
       
     Bring a large pot of water, about 5 qt, to a boil.   
        
     Add red beans, cover pot with lid, and let it simmer for roughly 2   
     hours or until beans are soft.   
        
     While beans are cooking, wash basmati rice well, and let them soak in   
     water.   
        
     About an hour in, add salt and cumin seeds to the beans. Keep an eye   
     on the water to make sure you have enough leftover for the rice. If   
     you are running low, add hot water as needed. I added about 3 cups   
     worth.   
        
     Once the beans are cooked through, check for salt, and add more if   
     needed. Again, check if you have enough water leftover to boil the   
     rice. If you don't, add hot water now.   
        
     Remove from heat, and let it cool for about 20 minutes.   
        
     After it has cooled down, bring the water back to boil, and add rice.   
        
     Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and let rice and beans simmer   
     on medium heat till the rice has absorbed the water, about 8 to   
          10    minutes.   
        
     Tightly wrap the lid with a cloth, and place securely back on the   
     pot. Dial heat to the lowest point, and let rice steam undisturbed   
     for 12 minutes. Remove from heat.   
        
     Place rice on platter and fluff with a fork, taking care not to smash   
     the beans.
