Last week I made a delicious version of lemon rice. As usual with most Indian foods there are many variations, mine was pretty lemony since the rice was about 1 cup less than the recipe called for and I am very liberal with my spices.
Lemon Rice
rice - 6 cups cooked
lemon juice - 6 tbsp
green chili - 3 tsp sliced
ginger - 1 1/2 tsp chopped
turmeric powder - 1 tsp
salt - 1 1/2 tsp
vegetable oil - 3 tbsp
mustard seeds - 1 1/2 tsp
chana dal - 3 tbsp
curry leaves - 10
fresh coriander - 3 tbsp chopped
Boil the rice ahead of time and soak the dal overnight.
Mix the lemon juice, salt, and turmeric, then sprinkle over the rice, coating each grain. In oil fry the dal, curry leaves, mustard seed, chilis, and ginger. Once the dal is golden brown remove from heat and incorporate the fry mixture into the rice.
Add the coriander and mix again. Ready to serve and enjoy.
