Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Lemon Juice

Cut one lemon in half and squeeze its juice into a small bowl. Set aside.

Step 2: Heat Oil

Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat.

Step 3: Add Mustard and Dals

Add 1/2 tablespoon of mustard seeds and 1/2 tablespoon of urad dal to the hot oil.

Step 4: Add Peanuts and Chillies

Add 1 tablespoon of chana dal, 2 tablespoons of peanuts, 3 dry red chilies, and 2 green chilies to the pan.

Step 5: Sauté Tempering Ingredients

Sauté the ingredients, stirring continuously, until the peanuts are roasted and the dals turn golden brown, which takes about 1-2 minutes.

Step 6: Add Curry Leaves and Spices

Add a handful of curry leaves, a pinch of hing (asafoetida), 1/4 tablespoon of turmeric powder, and 1/4 tablespoon of salt to the pan.

Step 7: Continue Sautéing

Continue to sauté for another minute until the curry leaves are crisp and the spices are fragrant.

Step 8: Add Lemon Juice

Pour the squeezed lemon juice into the pan. It will sizzle and mix with the tempering.

Step 9: Combine with Rice

Add 1 cup of boiled rice to the pan. Gently mix the rice with the tempering until all the ingredients are well combined and the rice is evenly coated with the yellow turmeric, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 10: Serve

Serve the hot and flavorful Lemon Rice in a bowl.
