Wash and drain your lentils and rice and set aside.
To a 9x11 inch or similar size baking dish, add the lentils and rice, the veggies, spinach, tomato, salt, spices, and water and mix well.
Then put it in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 degrees Celsius) . Cover with parchment and bake for 40-45 minutes.
Check at the 35/37 minute mark to see if the lentils and rice are cooked through.
Remove the dish from the oven, fluff a bit, and garnish with some cilantro and lemon juice and serve. You can add roasted veggies or toasted nuts for garnish as well.
You can top the dish with some non dairy yogurt or serve it with some raita and papadums , chutneys or achar(Indian pickle) or as a side with a curry.
