Lemon Rice


Ingredients

1 cup long grain rice (basmati rice)
2 Tbsp oil
1/8 tsp asafoetida (heeng)
1 tsp mustard seeds (sarson)
7-8 or 1 tsp dried and crushed curry leaves (kadhi patta)
2-3 whole red peppers (sabut laal mirch)
1/2 tsp turmeric (haldi)
2 tsp salt or to taste
2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 Tbsp chopped coriander leaves (hara dhania)


Cooking Style

Pick and wash the rice and soak for at least 1/2 hour.Heat oil in a pan and add the asafoetida, mustard seeds, curry leaves and the red peppers.When the seeds begin to splutter, add the rice and turn around a few times.Add the turmeric, salt and 1 1/2 cups water, and bring to a boil, uncovered.

When it comes to a boil, sprinkle a few drops of lemon, cover the pan and lower the heat. The rice should cook in 10 minutes. In case you want it to cook slower, place a griddle or something under the pan after it has come to a boil and you have lowered the heat.Shut off the heat, and mix in the lemon juice and half of the coriander leaves.Transfer on to a serving dish, garnish with the rest of the coriander leaves and serve.
