Elumichai Saadam (Lemon Rice)

Like Priti has mentioned earlier in her blog, I too wanted to submit my entry for the event, MBP - Less is More!, because of its lovely picture:)

I got inspired by this picture:) Cheers to Nupur or whoever has designed it !!!! :)

This MBP event was started by Coffee, and for this month, it is hosted by Nupur.

I decided to try a simple one from other fellow bloggers. I came across Niya's Lemon Rice.

So presenting mine below, with minor additions:


Ingredients :

Lemon Juice - 2 tablespoons, with added salt to taste (salt will reduce sourness of lemon)

Cooked rice - 3-4 cups

Chopped Onions (optional) - 1, medium sized

Tempering ingredients - (Oil, mustard seeds, Urad dal, Channa dal, cumin seeds, asafoetida powder, turmeric powder, Curry leaves, Green / Red chillies - as required)

Garnishing ingredients (optional) - Fried Cashews / Fried groundnuts / Fried ginger pieces / Chopped coriander leaves

Method:
Heat oil in a pan, and allow mustard seeds to splitter.

Add urad dal, channa dal, asafoetida powder, curry leaves, green chillies, turmeric powder and fry for a minute.

Then add chopped onions and fry until they are golden brown.

Add cooked rice, lemon juice with salt and mix well for few minutes.

Garnish with cashews and coriander leaves and serve hot.



A quick and tasty lemon rice is ready!!!

Cooking time - 15 minutes
Serves 2-3 persons.
