In a large pan, saute onion, garlic, carrots and celeriac in oil for about 5 minutes. Add in lentils and spices. Cook for a few minutes stirring occasionally. You can add a splash of water if it’s too dry.
Pour water and bring it to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes or until the lentils are tender.
Add in cooked rice and lemon juice. Cook for a few more minutes and remove from heat.
Garnish with fresh herbs, chili pepper and shredded carrot before serving.
