Lemon Rice

Lemon rice is a common Indian food served for breakfast , sometimes as a quick lunch too..



Ingredients
Lemon - 2
Rice - 5 cups
Dried red chilies - 4
Curry leaves - 10 pieces
Peanuts - 3 tea spoons
Turmeric powder - a pinch
Gingelly oil - 5 table spoons
Salt to taste

1. Boil the rice (make sure that the rice is not overdone, should not stick with each other) and allow it to cool in a wide bottomed pan.



2. Extract lemon juice and cut the dried red chilies into pieces.. of course with hand.

3.Heat gingelly oil in kadai and once hot, add mustard seeds & once it starts popping out, add dried red chilies , when chilies turn dark reddish color, add curry leaves and peanuts (peanuts can be fried and skinless also - optional).




4.Usually I switch off the stove at this stage to avoid over heating.. After switching off the stove, add pinch of turmeric to the oil and add the lemon juice. Now turn on the stove and boil the contents for 3 minutes, add enough salt having the content of the rice in mind.




Now add this mixture to the rice, little by little, and mix well properly.This will go well with the potato fry listed in the fry items.. :-)
