1 1/2 Cupsrice uncooked (or 4 cups cooked rice)
2-3 tbsplemon juice or lime juice as needed
2 tbspoil
3/4 tspmustard seeds
4 tbsppeanuts
1/4 tspturmeric powder
2green chilli slit
1 sprigcurry leaves
1 1/2 tspchana dal
1 tspurad dal
1 pinchhing
as per taste Salt

Cooking Instructions

1

Wash rice a few times and drain the water completely. On a low flame cover and cook it in a large pot with 3 cups water. The rice must be cooked fully but grainy and not mushy.
2

Fluff up the rice gently with a fork and cool completely. This helps to keep the rice grainy & firm.
3

Heat a pan with ½ tbsp oil on a medium. Add peanuts or cashews and fry until golden and crunchy. Remove them to a plate.Pour another 1½ tbsp of oil and add mustard, urad dal & chana dal. Fry on a medium flame until the dals turn golden & aromatic.
4

Now add green chilis, red chilies(optional) and curry leaves. Fry them until the leaves turn crisp for about 30 seconds.Then add hing, turmeric and salt. Immediately pour 2 to 3 tbsps water and stir.
5

Quickly water will evaporate and turn the dal softer yet keeping them slightly crunchy. Turn off the stove and remove from the heat.Transfer this to the cooled rice.Ensure the rice is cooled completely then squeeze the lemon juice and give a good mix. Garnish with roasted peanuts or cashews. Serve lemon rice with plain yogurt, papad or pickle.

So, I used to work for a Telugu boss. He learned a bit about US law from me, and I learned a lot of Indian cooking and culture from him and his wife. This is an Indian spin on veggie fried rice. The spicy and light Indian flavors make the dish pretty addictive. You may need to make a double recipe.

Still experimenting with Indian flavors. I did measure things out this time but, of course, all proportions are a matter of taste, especially spices. This is my first time using chaat masala and cardamom so definitely still tinkering with quantities but we liked this enough to share it.

This dish is pronounced (shoe-shoe-uh). My grandpa grew up in Madagascar as a missionary kid. This was a typical breakfast food for them. Rice can be leftover from the night before, reheat on the stove with a bit of milk or in the microwave.

Raw Mango Rice

Have you ever tried Mango rice?? If not, then give your boring rice a makeover with this lovely recipe. I was scrolling through YouTube and there I came across this lovely recipe which includes unripe mangoes (kacha aam) to give a healthy twist to our regular rice.We, here in the North, do not relish rice this way, so it was pretty new flavour for my family. The raw mango gives tangy taste to the rice whereas assorted dals and peanuts give it a crunch, a tantalizing aroma and interesting mouth feel.You can savour it with side dishes like ginger chutney or curd. But I devoured this as it is, enjoying every bite and feeling every single flavour. Yummmm!#khana

On diet days I substitute tofu as my rice. This is my usual go to. Delicious on its own or with fried rice.This is also known as Tokwa at Baboy in Manila, with many different styles of cooking and serving within the country. This is my favorite style, well seasoned pork, crispy tofu, with dip on the side.
