Indian lime rice

Ingredients

• 300 g of cooked rice (about 2 cups)
• 3 tablespoons of lime juice
• One bunch of curry leaves
• 2 green chili peppers, slightly wilted
• 2 dried red chili peppers
• 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon of urad dal
• 1 tablespoon of chana dal
• 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder
• 1 small piece of asafoetida (or 1 pinch of powder)
• salt
• 2 tablespoons of coconut oil or any other oil

Spread the cooked rice out to cool, and then press it firmly to form a solid mass.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the mustard seeds.

Add the urad dal, chana dal, red chili peppers, curry leaves, green chili peppers, and asafoetida, and cook until browned.

Add the turmeric, stir well, turn off the heat, and pour in the lime juice.

Immediately add the rice and mix well.

Season and adjust the seasoning.

Serve the lemon-infused rice while it’s still hot.
