Ingredients
-
3/4 cup cooked rice, cooked without salt (you can use leftover cooked rice)
-
1 teaspoon oil
-
1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
-
1/2 teaspoon Urad Dal or 1/2 teaspoon split black gram
-
1/8 teaspoon turmeric powder
-
1/8 teaspoon asafoetida powder
-
1 tablespoon peanuts
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
1 tablespoon lemon juice
-
coriander leaves (to garnish)
-
1/2 medium green chili, chopped
Instructions
- Heat oil in a frying pan on medium heat and add mustard seeds and urad dal.
- When mustard starts to splutter, add turmeric powder, chopped chilli, asafoetida, and peanuts.
- Saute for about 2 minutes.
- Then add cooked rice and salt and saute for another 5 minutes.
- Remove from flame, add lemon juice and mix well.
- Garnish with chopped corriander and serve!
- Note: If you don't have cooked rice on hand, cook 1/4 cup of rice in a pressure cooker, or with about 1/2 to 2/3 cup water in a pot; allow it to cool well before using it in the recipe, since warm rice will tend to clump together in the mixture.
