Lemon Rice with Peanuts

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup rice (cooked, cooked without salt you can use leftover cooked)
• 1 tsp oil
• 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
• 1/2 tsp urad dal (split black gram)
• 1/8 tsp turmeric (powder)
• 1/8 tsp asafetida powder (optional)
• 1 tbsp peanuts
• 1/2 green chilies (chopped)
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 leaf coriander (garnish) 

Time Required - 10 mins

Lets Get Cracking

1. Heat oil in a frying pan on medium heat and add mustard seeds and urad dal.
2. When mustard starts to splutter, add turmeric powder, chopped chilli, asafoetida, and peanuts. 
3. Saute for about 2 minutes. 
4. Then add cooked rice and salt and saute for another 5 minutes. 
5. Remove from flame, add lemon juice and mix well. 
6. Garnish with chopped corriander and serve! 
7. Note: If you don't have cooked rice on hand, cook 1/4 cup of rice in a pressure cooker, or with about 1/2 to 2/3 cup water in a pot; allow it to cool well before using it in the recipe, since warm rice will tend to clump together in the mixture.

Enjoy :) :) :)
