rice 2 cups
salt to taste
water 3 cups
to temper
mustard seeds 1/2 tsp
curry leaves few
green chillies 3-4
ginger shredded 1 tsp
turmeric powder 1/2 tsp
peanuts a fistful
asafoetida /kayam podi1/4 tsp
chana dal 1/2 tsp
red dry chillies 2
lemon juice of 1 lemon
oil 2-3 tsp
Method
-Cook the rice with salt and water as per packet instruction or as per your choice.I use 1 1/2 cup of water to cook 1 cup of rice.Just ensure that the rice is not mushy once cooked and let it be warm before mixing to the rice(gives the correct texture).Too hot rice can again turn mushy when mixed.
-Heat oil in a pan and splutter mustard seeds.Add in the chana dal,peanuts,wait till it turns light browned.Add in the shredded ginger,sliced green chillies,curry leaves.Saute a minute and then add in the asafoetida(hing) and turmeric powder.
-Add the cooked rice and mix gently so that the turmeric powder is evenly coated.Turn off heat and add in the lemon juice,toss well.Serve warm with pickle and pappad !!!
NOTES
*You can use any rice of your choice but basmati rice serves best.
