1
Cook the macaroni noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
2
In a separate pot, cook the medium grain rice accoring to the package instructions.
3
While the rice is cooking, prepare the spice mix. Combine the ground cumin, red chili powder, paprika, ground coriander, ground nutmeg, and black pepper in a small bowl.
4
Add half of this spice mixture to the cooking rice, stirring well to evenly distribute the spices.
5
Simultaneously, start preparing the tomato sauce. Combine the tomato sauce, ground cinnamon, bay leaves and the remaining half of the spice mix in a pot. Heat on medium flame for 10 minutes or until the flavors meld together, stirring occasionally.
6
Heat vegetable oil in a separate pan over medium heat.
7
Once the oil is hot, add the thinly sliced onions. Fry them, stirring occasionally, until they are crispy and golden brown. Then, remove them from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate.
8
Begin the layering process in a bowl. Start with the crispy onions, followed by chickpeas, lentils, tomato sauce, cooked macaroni and finally the spiced rice.
9
Carefully place a plate upside down on the bowl, grip firmly the plate and bowl together then flip them over. Lift the bowl slowly to reveal the layered Koshari. Serve warm and enjoy.
