Lemon rice (Elumichai sadam)

Lemon rice - preparation time 15 to 20 mins
Some day you feel very exhausted and tired. If lemon and green chili is available you can prepare this rice and serve along with some chips or fried papad.

Ingredients:-
Lemon juice - 3 tbsp
Green/Red chili - 2/3 finely chopped
Urad dhal - 2 tsp
Mustard seed - ½ tsp
Split Channa dhal - 2 tsp
Salt - to taste
Oil - 2 tbsp
Turmeric powder - ½ tsp
Cashew nuts - 6 (finely chopped)
Curry leaves - 10 to 15 leaves finely chopped.
Cooked rice - 1 cup of rice and cool it in large bowl. Carefully spread with fork so the rice is not mashed/broken.


Preparation method:
Heat tawa/kadai in slow flame. Add oil & mustard seed. Once it splutters add the dhal, cashew and roast till light brown. Add the chili and curry leaves. Switch of the flame and add turmeric, lime juice and salt.
Take the rice and mix in this. If it is not mixed well use your hand(only after washing your hand). You can add few more chopped curry leaves to bring added flavor.

Note: If you are taking juice from lime. Once lime is cut into 2 wash in water so that the bitter taste from skin wont come. Don't press the lime too much to get juice because the bitter taste from the skin will come to lime juice.
