Ingredients
- 1 medium onion sliced
- 1 medium tomato sliced
- 1 large lemon fresh
- 10 small curry leaves fresh
- 1 tablespoon chana dal can soak for 15 min
- 1 teaspoon mustard seeds black
- 1.5 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric powder aka haldi
- 1 large dried red chili
- 1.5 tablespoon ghee desi variety
- 3 cups rice boiled
- ¼ teaspoon asafoetida optional, Heeng
- 1 tablespoon raw mango grated, optional
- salt as per taste
- 1 piece red chili optional, dried
- 1 small green chili optional
Instructions
- Wash all vegetables under tap and chop them in small chunks.
- You may soak Chana dal when you begin with the Tadka for around 15 min.
- I have used leftover rice. In case you wish to have fresh boiled rice, it would take additional 15 min. Soak rice for 20 min. Boil them for 10 min till tender and drain excess water from the pan.
- Take a heavy bottomed Kadai/Pan and heat desi ghee in it. Add ¼ teaspoon Heeng. Add Mustard Seeds.
- Remove water from soaked Chana Dal and add it to kadai. Cook for less than a min.
- Add curry leaves.
- Add onions. Cook for 2 min till they are transparent.
- Add spices.
- Add chopped tomatoes.
- Add salt as per taste.
- Add grated Raw Mango. Cook for 1min.
- Add lemon juice around 1 tablespoon. Can add more if you want more tangy.
- Add boiled rice and mix well.
- The Lemon rice is ready!! Enjoy with curd or green chutney!!
Notes
- If you are using already boiled rice to make lemon rice, make sure to use a heavy bottomed wok or else rice would stick to the bottom of the utensil.
- The best is Iron wok, though heavy steel or cast iron works too.
- The boiled rice should be kept in refrigerator or else it might have bacterial growth in it. For making lemon rice, take it out just 10-15 min in advance
