1. Tie the peppercorns, cardamom seeds, bay leaf, and ginger in a piece of clean, washed cheesecloth. Put it into the bottom of a large covered casserole. Pour in the lentils and 3 cups of water.

2. Cook, covered, in the microwave oven for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the onion, rice and oil.
