Lemon Rice

Ingredients:


1 cup Rice
2 tsp Oil
Salt to taste
½ tsp Ginger
2 Green Chilli
½ tsp Turmeric
2 tsp Urad Daal
Coriander leaves
2 tsp Chana Daal
5 tsp Lemon juice
4 whole Red Chilli
Some Curry leaves
1 tsp Mustard seeds
A pinch of Asafoetida
Method:
Boil the rice, drain and keep aside.
Heat the oil in a vessel. Add mustard seeds, asafoetida, curry leaves, ginger, chillies, urad daal, chana daal and the turmeric.
Add the lemon juice, salt, water and simmer for 3 minutes.
Add the rice and mix well. Finally garnish with coriander.


Tip: Before cooking, rinse the rice several times, until the water comes out clear. This removes any starch and residue, otherwise the rice may be sticky.
