Recipe cuisine: South Indian; Category: Lunch
Prep time: 10 mts; Cooking time : 30 - 40 mts
Serves 3
Juice extracted from Narthampazham
Cooked rice cooling down
Heat a pan, add oil, add hing and turmeric powders, mustard seeds, urad and channa dhal
Keep on slow fire, and before the dhals turn golden, add peanuts too, all these will get perfect roasting
Now add curry leaves and green chillies. Red chillies are optional, but green chillies go well with the aroma and taste of the Citrons
Add the seasonings to the rice
Salt to taste
Add the Narthampazha juice as per taste. For 1 cup rice, I had to add 3 tbsps juice, it isn't so sour like lemon juice, very subtle in taste
Mix well
With some Sundal and some Vadams, isn't it a perfect meal!??
