Chitranna/Lemon Rice

Anamika Banerjee
Anamika Banerjee @LadyLazarrus_9663
Bangalore- INDIA

Absolutely an authentic traditional South Indian TIFFIN DISH it is…
Quite a favourite of mine, surely amongst many others too…
The most simplest, quickest, easiest & delectable way to not only satiate your heart, soul & tummy-
Also, equally gorgeous looking & presentable while served in the Breakfast/Brunch platters…
Try out this particular recipe, my way-which I do prepare usually with my own a few tweaks put into it, which may not be typically used by all & perhaps, many of you do follow that as well…
Since, this particular recipe is prepared in quite a few different ways-
Even, within the Tamil (the recipe I usually do follow)- Iyar & Iyenger Families too prepare this with their very own special tweaks & then again in the state of Karnataka-
It’s popularly known as the ‘Chitranna’- is prepared a little differently too, however keeping all the basic ingredients of it same or similar

Steps

15 mins. Prep T
  1. 1

    Firstly, we need to cook the Rice & set aside in order to allow it to cool down a bit while, we’re doing the rest of the Preppings as well as the cooking done to continue the process furthermore- quite faster

  2. 2

    Next, in a kadhai/wok/pan: Heat the measured Sesame Oil, over the medium flame & add into it all the aforesaid tempering spices & the dals (both), sauté for about a couple of mins time until they turn fragrant and nutty brown

  3. 3

    Next, goes into it the curry leaves, both types of chillies, hing & the nuts (both), sauté altogether again, for about another a couple more mins. When they release a nutty aroma all along- Now, reduce the flame to the lowest possible settings to add in the turmeric powder to it, flame reduction is VVI herein, else instead of the nice lemony yellow colour it’d yield a brownish one

  4. 4

    At this point, after adding in the turmeric, also add in the salt & a pinch sugar (if using it), lemon juice & mix everything well together until nicely combined and well blended-
    Turn on the oven once more setting it to the lowest temperature- Sprinkle a dash of water into it, mix well- Cover the pan for another 1-1.5 mins time- Now, turn off the flame, give it all a really good mix & let it sit on the hot oven for another 5-6 mins time with the lid on

  5. 5

    Post that, transfer it to the serving bowl/plate or directly onto your Dining/Breakfast platters- Enjoy it as is or with the mild typical South Indian Coconut or Onion Chutney-
    It’s better to be had not hot but warm or in its lukewarm temperature & then, you can actually enjoy its actual very subtle mix of all the flavours & flavourful ingredients & spices, quite distinctively

A hardcore Bong- that has a tremendous wanderlust in her blood as well as that much passion for cooking new ideas and recipes & also, camouflaging certain recipes across the globe-Of course, all that maintains its heritage and cultures in its looks and taste both yet caters to the day’s call/requirement to be health conscious but a great foodie that’s innate in her genes and tries to satiate the crowd- Be ANY, with all that 😊💁🏻‍♀️👍🏻
