Lemon Rice is a very simple and refreshing South Indian preparation. I absolutely love it. I often make Lemon Rice from the left over steamed rice.

Ingredients

Method

1. Chop green chillies finely and keep aside.
2. Slice onion coarsely and keep aside.



3. Steam rice: Wash and soak rice in two cups of water for about 30 minutes. Pour rice and water in a sauce pan and cook. Once the water starts boiling, reduce heat, add a little ghee and cook till all the water is absorbed. Turn off the heat.
4. Heat ghee in a nonstick pan. Add mustard seeds and cover it because seeds will pop up. Wait till they stop popping.



5. Once the seeds stop popping, add sliced onion and saute for a minute.



6. Add urad dal, chana dal, kari leaves, turmeric powder, green chillies and saute for a few seconds.



7. Add steamed rice, salt and lemon juice.



8. Mix well and cook for about two minutes.



9. Turn off the heat and Lemon Rice is ready to be served.

Notes

1. If you don’t like hard dal grains, soak them in water for 30 minutes and then use them in this recipe.
2. Make sure that you cover the pan when you add mustard seeds to the oil because mustard seeds pop up.
