4 cups water
8 ounces kale or spinach
1 cup nonfat yogurt

Saute scallions and garlic for three minutes or until slightly
softened. Add carrots and mushrooms and sautee, stirring occasionally for
5 minutes or until carrots are crisp - tender.
Add the rice and lentils, salt, coriander, cumin, ginger and tumeric
and stir to coat.
Add the water and bring to boil over high heat.
Adjust the heat so the mixture bubbles gently. Cover and cook for 15
minutes.
Stir in the kale. Cover and cook for 2 minutes or just until the
kale is slightly wilted.
Top each portion with 1/4 cup of yogurt.
