How To Make Lemon Rice

Step 1: Prepare The Rice

Step 2: Heat The Pan

Now, we can go ahead and get the seeds and ingredients ready.
Here we have a medium-sized agnostic pan going on medium heat right now. And we’re going to add in first our oil. We’re going to let it heat up before we’re going to add the rest of the ingredients in there.

Step 3: Add The Chilli, Mustard Seeds, Channa Daal, Peanuts And Cashews

When our oil is hot, we’re going to start with our whole dried red chilli, and we’re going to add in our mustard seeds. Now, these need to pop before you add anything else.
Then we are going to add our channa daal and then we’re going to add our peanuts.
You always add the channa daal before you add the urad daal because it is a smaller version, so it need less time to cook than the others.
And we’re going to add our cashews.
We’ll cook this until the cashews turn to light golden brown.

Step 4: Add The Rest Of The Ingredients

Now we can add the urad daal.
The urad daal tends to brown really fast so just a quick stir and I’m going to add the rest of the ingredients.
Here’s our turmeric and our asafoetida.
Now we can add in our minced ginger and green chilli.
We finally spread the curry leaves. Mix them nicely and we can add in our rice.
Get a nice mix, make sure the turmeric is in all the rice. We don’t want white patches in there.

Step 5: Cook

You don’t want to cook this rice a lot. We’re using cold rice so we’re going to let it heat through once. And if you’re using fresh rice the time you cook could even be less. And that’s it, it’s done.
Now our lemon rice is ready. So we can garnish it with some cilantro leaves and it's all done.
