For making the Lemon Rice, we first need to cook rice so as to get 4 cups of it. Cool it down a bit. Or use 4 cups leftover rice.

Next, heat a pan and add oil to it. Roast the peanuts and cashshewnuts in it separately and set them aside.

In the same hot oil make a tempering by adding the mustard seeds.

As soon as they splutter, add the asafoetida, urad daal, chanaa daal, chopped green chillies, deseeded red chilli pieces and the curry leaves.

Add the turmeric powder and mix. Immediately add the cooked rice and salt to taste.

Give it a good toss and add in the roasted peanuts and cashewnuts.

Mix well and cover for a minute or two. Uncover and drizzle the lemon juice.

Serve the delicious Lemon Rice alongwith some fresh homemade curds and pickle of choice!
