Step 1
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large pot over medium. Add diced carrots and cook, stirring, until edges soften, about 3 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in turmeric, then add rinsed rice and lentils. Stir constantly until grains turn slightly opaque, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Pour in broth, season with salt and pepper, then stir once. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to low.
Step 4
Simmer covered until rice and lentils are tender and liquid is absorbed, about 12 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in frozen peas, cover, and let sit off heat for 2 minutes until peas are heated through.
