Measuring beans and rice

[Guest guest]

1. I am going on a diet. I like to know what quantity (cups) of dry

lentils, beans are needed in order to obtain 2 cooked cups of the

above.

 

2. Also, I like to know what quantity of WATER I need in order to

have lentils, beans and rice cooked with all of the liquid consumed. I

like to learn how to make lentils and bean stews and have all of the

liquid absorbed. Ratios are good. Thank you
