Lemon Rice

Collection: Vegetarian Recipes

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup uncooked rice
  • 2 teaspoon urad dal
  • 2 teaspoon channa dal
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon tumeric powder
  • 1 dried red chili
  • salt and lemon juice to taste

Directions

Put 3/4 of a cup of rice to boil.
In another pot heat up about 1 tbsp of oil. When
the oil is hot add the red chili (broken into
pieces) 2 tsp each of urad dal and channa dal (I
don't know their English names, but you could get
them off the net I guess...) Let the grains roast
till they are light brown/red. Do NOT let them
burn. Add 1 tsp of mustard seeds. When the seeds
begin to crackle add the tumeric. Take the pot
off the heat. Once the rice is cooked, add it to
the mixture you have just created. Also add the
lemon juice (I think about 4 tbsp would be
ideal, though you could add or subtract at will)
and the salt. mix it all up till the rice is
yellow over. this is great plain, and you could
pack it for lunch. its also LOW FAT!!
