The tanginess from the lemons and the crunch from the peanuts makes this dish a very balanced meal.\u00a0\u00a0It is\u00a0a very quick-to-make recipe and can be put together in no time. It is usually eaten for breakfast throughout the southern part of India, but you can enjoy it anytime of the day with some pickle or just on it&#8217;s own. It is also a good recipe to use the left over rice and it can be stored for up to 2 days. It makes a very good tiffin option and is also good to carry while travelling as it does not spoil very fast. To make it healthier you can also add vegetables like carrots, beans and peas, though it is traditionally made with only peanuts. So, here is the recipe.<\/p>\n<h2>Ingredients needed for\u00a0Lemon Rice<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Cooked rice &#8211; 1 cup<\/li>\n<li>Vegetable oil &#8211; 2 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Mustard seeds &#8211; 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li><em>Chana dal<\/em> &#8211; 1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li><em>Urad dal<\/em> -1\/2 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Dried red chili &#8211; 2-3<\/li>\n<li>Peanuts &#8211; 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Curry leaves &#8211; 1 sprig<\/li>\n<li>Green chili &#8211; 2 ( slit into half )<\/li>\n<li>Onion &#8211; 1\/2 cup ( chopped )<\/li>\n<li>Salt to taste<\/li>\n<li>Turmeric powder &#8211; 1\/4 tsp<\/li>\n<li>Lemon juice &#8211; 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to make Lemon Rice<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Heat oil in\u00a0a pan.<\/li>\n<li>When the oil is hot, add mustard seeds.<\/li>\n<li>When the seeds starts splattering, add <em>chana dal<\/em>,<em> urad dal<\/em>, peanuts and dried red chilies.<\/li>\n<li>Fry till slightly browned.<\/li>\n<li>Add onions, curry leaves and green chili.<\/li>\n<li>Fry for a minute.<\/li>\n<li>Add salt, turmeric powder and lemon juice.<\/li>\n<li>Fry for 30 seconds.<\/li>\n<li>Add in the cooked rice.<\/li>\n<li>Simmer the heat and mix well.<\/li>\n<li>Cook for 2 minutes on low heat.<\/li>\n<li>Serve hot with some pickle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Related Recipes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/food\/vagharela-chawal\">Vagharela Chawal<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/food\/methi-paneer-pulao\">Methi Paneer Pulao<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/food\/parsi-pulao\">Parsi Pulao<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/food\/raw-mango-rice\">Raw Mango Rice<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mapsofindia.com\/my-india\/food\/chinese-vegetable-fried-rice\">Chinese Vegetable Fried Rice Recipe<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lemon rice is a south Indian dish made with rice and is flavoured with lemons.
