This is an old recipe from southern India and has been in my family for generations. It is light yet filling and very easy to prepare.

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups long grain rice (basmati or other)
3 tablespoons cooking oil (I prefer sunflower)
1/2 cup roasted peanuts (optional)
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 pinch cayenne powder
1 pinch turmeric powder (available at Indian groceries)
1 medium coconut (just the scrapings)
2 fresh hot green peppers (depending on how spicy)
1 piece fresh ginger
2 teaspoons cooking oil
1 teaspoon mustard seeds

Steps:

  • Lemon Rice: Cook the rice with required amount of salt and cool.
  • The grains should be separate.
  • In a wok heat the oil.
  • When hot, put in the mustard seeds and lower the heat.
  • When the seeds splutter, put in the roasted, peanuts, the turmeric powder and cayenne pepper powder.
  • Take off the heat.
  • Add the cooled rice.
  • When cool, add the juice of two lemons.
  • Adjust the amount of lemon juice depending upon the size of lemons and the sourness required and stir carefully so as not to break the rice grains.
  • Serve with coconut chutney, mint chutney, tomato ketchup and potato crisps.
  • Coconut Chutney: Grind all ingredients together with a enough water to form a paste.
  • In a small wok, heat 2 tsps of cooking oil, add 1 tsp of mustard seeds.
  • When the seeds splutter, take off heat and pour over coconut paste.
  • Add salt to taste.
  • Serve with the Lemon Rice.

This dish was a bit too sour for my taste, but I think that's just a matter of personal preference. The rice was cooked well and the coconut chutney was flavorful.

I followed the recipe exactly and the lemon rice turned out great! The coconut chutney was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to adjust it by adding more yogurt.
