Directions : lemon Rice Recipe

STEP 1.Preparation
STEP 2.Wash rice a few times and drain the water completely.
STEP 3.On a low flame cover and cook it in a large pot with 3 cups water.
STEP 4.The rice must be cooked fully but grainy and not mushy. OR You can also cook it in a pressure cooker by placing the rice bowl in the cooker. Cook for 2 to 3 whistles.
STEP 5.Fluff up the rice gently with a fork and cool completely. This helps to keep the rice grainy & firm.
STEP 6.How to make lemon rice
STEP 7.Heat a pan with ½ tbsp oil on a medium.
STEP 8.Add peanuts or cashews and fry until golden and crunchy. Remove them to a plate.
STEP 9.Pour another 1½ tbsp of oil and add mustard, urad dal & chana dal. Fry on a medium flame until the dals turn golden & aromatic.
STEP 10.Next add ginger, green chilis, red chilies(optional) and curry leaves. Fry them until the leaves turn crisp for about 30 seconds. Do not fry for too long, ginger will turn bitter.
STEP 11.Then add hing, turmeric and salt. Immediately pour 2 to 3 tbsps water and stir.
STEP 12.Quickly water will evaporate and turn the dal softer yet keeping them slightly crunchy. Turn off the stove and remove from the heat.
STEP 13.Transfer this to the cooled rice. (or Alternately add the cooled rice to the pan). Ensure the rice is cooled completely then squeeze the lemon juice and give a good mix.
STEP 14.Taste the lemon rice. If needed sprinkle more salt and add more lemon juice. Garnish with roasted peanuts or cashews. Serve lemon rice with plain yogurt, papad or pickle.
