Lemon Rice
My Mum in Law made this the other day before leaving to go to New York its a famous traveling food in India, as it lasts a long time. It's so simple to make and tastes great.
You can get it with tomato chutney, plantain slices (per Amma) or fish fry. I plan to make it with fish fry soon, of course with eat fish with lemon all the time in the West it must be great.
Ingredients:
- 1 lemon
- mustard seeds
- urad dal
- curry leaves
- Bengal gram
- aestofida
- turmeric
- cooked rice
Method:
- heat oil and pop mustard seeds add the above the mustard seeds, dal's curry leaves, turmeric and aestofida then mix in the cooked rice
- squeeze a lemon then slowly add to the rice to taste.
NOM!

Do you think it would work with brown rice?...

ReplyDeleteYou know my mother prepares this for my journey... when I go back to job after visiting my home...
I admit I had to look up several of the ingredients in this dish but it sounds fantastic! Have you ever done a "glossary" of some of the less common ingredients? If so I'd love to see it!
ReplyDeleteI remember trying this one at a co-workers daughter's birthday. I liked it too. I went back for seconds. It's been a while since I've had it. Maybe I should make me a batch. Yum!!!

This sounds so delicious, but some of the ingredients are strange-sounding. I guess I will have to find an Asian market for them. I so want to try something Indian.
