Dish of lentils, rice and sautéed onions

Mujaddara (مجدّرة mujaddarah, with alternative spellings in English majadra, mejadra, moujadara, mudardara, and megadarra) is a dish consisting of cooked lentils together with groats, generally rice, and garnished with sautéed onions. It is especially popular in the Levant.

Mujaddara is the Arabic word for "pockmarked"; the lentils among the rice resemble pockmarks. Containing rice, lentils, and meat, it was served this way during celebrations.

Cooked lentils are popular all over the Middle East and form the basis of many dishes. Mujaddara is a popular dish throughout the Arab world, and is generally made using brown or green lentils and rice, that can be seasoned with cumin, coriander, or mint. Mjaddara usually has the consistency of rice pudding whereas in the Lebanese variant known as mudardara, the rice and lentils remain relatively intact and distinct. Both mujaddara and mudardara are topped with caramelized onions and usually served with yogurt or a salad. Arab Christians traditionally eat mujaddara during Lent. Jews traditionally ate it twice a week: hot on Thursday evening, and cold on Sunday. The dish is also popular among Druze in the Levant. Palestinians replace the rice with bulgur; the dish is called m'jaddaret burghul to distinguish it from the m'jaddara which is served with rice. Pronounced as m'jaddara, the dish is served multiple times a month for family, cooked with olive oil and onion strips, and served alongside local plain sheep's milk yogurt (laban n'aj) made in Nablus, with green salad.

In Egyptian cuisine, lentils, rice, macaroni, and tomato sauce cooked together are known as kushari. In Indian cuisines, lentils cooked together with rice are known as khichdi (see also kedgeree). In Iranian cuisine, a similar dish composed of rice and lentils is called addas polo. In Cypriot cuisine, the dish called fakes moutzentra (φακές μουτζιέντρα; ) is very similar to mujaddara, as it consists of lentils and rice. In Greek, fakes means lentils.
