It was 1 cup basmati rice, 1/2 cup red lentils, 3 cups and a little extra water with plenty of home made curry powder, frozen bell peppers and chopped up baby carrots.
Came out good but a little underwhelming without sauce. I also made chole not pictured and ate it together.
Cheap ones are fine, but spend at least 60€ if you want to have a quality nonstick layer. I got the bigger cuckoo one (Korean brand) for 80€ which has been working awesome for 4 years now. Never was rice stuck/burned in the pot.
