Wash the lentils and rice separately and soak in water for about 10 minutes. Drain the lentils and boil in fresh water for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, soak the almonds in boiled water. Drain the lentils and rice and combine with the specified amount of water. Bring to a boil briefly, turn off the heat, and let stand with the lid closed for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, drain the almonds, peel them, halve them lengthwise with a knife, and toast them in a pan. Serve the rice with yogurt and almond halves. Note: You can also buy slivered almonds and toast them directly. The yogurt can be replaced with a vegan version.
