Start with balanced funds

I want to start a Systematic Investment Plan (SIP). I wish to start by investing Rs 2,500-3,000 a month for the next 20 years and I am open to equity funds, too. Please advice about some good schemes I should invest in and how I should balance my portfolio by investing in more than one scheme.
