'''Mujaddara''' ('''{{lang-ar|مجدرة}}, [[Greek language|Greek]]: {{cyp|Μου{{κ}}έντρα}}'''), also known as '''mejadra''' or '''mudardara''', consists of cooked [[lentil]]s together with groats, [[wheat]] or [[rice]], garnished with roated [[onion]]s that have been sauteed in [[vegetable oil]].
==In the Middle East==
Cooked lentils are popular all over the [[Middle East]] and form the basis of many dishes. ''Mujaddara'' is a popular [[Levantine]] dish, and may be served on its own or with other vegetables and side dishes: it is equally good hot and cold. This dish is a main staple of the [[Syrian cuisine|Syrian]], [[Lebanese cuisine|Lebanese]], [[Palestinian cuisine|Palestinian]] and [[Jordanian cuisine|Jordanian]] diet today, both in the Middle East and in [[North America]]. While once regarded as a poor man's dish, it is today considered a high-protein, balanced healthy food by many [[United States|American]]s.
It has two variants: yellow, which uses red split lentils, and brown, which uses green lentils.
In Lebanese cuisine, a distinction is sometimes made between ''mudardara'' and ''mujaddara'', depending on whether the lentils are [[purée]]d or left whole, but usage is not consistent.
==Similar dishes in other cuisines==
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]]).
