Lime Rice

SOURCE: Sanomausi

CATEGORY: Rice

Cooked rice 3 cups

1 lemon

Seasoning (Curry leaves, 1 tsp channa dal, 1 tsp urad dal, 1/2 tsp mustard seeds, turmeric, salt)

Green chilli (4 small or 3 seranno)

Chopped ginger

Rosted peanuts (with skin is preffered; can use raw peanuts that can be roasted on a non-stick pan) 1/2 cup

Do not use overcooked rice; Rice that is more than a day old works better. Roast peanuts ahead of time.

Add 2 tblsp canola oil to flat bottomed non-stick pan (with some depth). When hot, add all seasonings except salt. Add green chilli. Sautee. Add rice. Toss. Add juice of one fresh lime. Sautee for a bit until mixed(2-3 minutes). Add peanuts that have been roasted.

Shortcut to keep curry leaves fresh: Pick curry leaves from stem. Oil hands, rub curry leaves and cook for 1 minute till dark green. Cool. Put into ziplock and freeze (use freezer ziplocks that dont give freezer burns).
