I'm new to this whole posting my recipes thing so you'll have to forgive my lack of photos for the time being. I *promise* I will start posting photos once I decide I want to pick up a camera again.

Last night I dumped a cup of mung beans and a cup of Basmatti brown rice into a bowl. And I left it to soak in water overnight while I happily dreamed about upcoming dinner parties, impending births of my clients, and the exam I had to give to my students in the morning.
