Step 1
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high. Add cumin seeds and toast until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 2
Pour in 2.5 cups water. Stir in lentils, rice, turmeric, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil.
Step 3
Lower heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice and lentils are tender and liquid is absorbed, 14–16 minutes.
Step 4
Remove from heat. Fluff with a fork, then squeeze lime juice over the top and stir gently.
Step 5
Serve hot in bowls. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
