Lemon Rice / lunch box ideas
Lemon rice is one of the pre-dominant dishes prepared in South Indian home. It is tasty, makes a good meal and is actually a festive delicacy. A traditional festive meal calls it as chitranna. It is one of the essentials made without onions.
Today, I have a quick-fix lunch box menu. It is ideal to prepare for weekend dinner too. A quick dinner is ready if you have pre-cooked rice on hand. You may use fresh green peas instead of ground nuts.
This is a vegan and gluten-free food, considering that you are using gluten-free asafoetida.
Lemon rice is easy to prepare, filling, can be made with or without onion and one can use left over rice too.
What goes in the Lemon rice
- Rice : Well cooked rice that is not smudgy is needed.
- Oil : Any neutral oil. I prefer using groundnut oil.
- Mustard seeds : It helps in setting the right tone of cooking. The right temperature of oil is used when the seeds crackle.
- Bengal gram
- Urad dal
- Green chillies
- Peanut
- Curry leaves
- onion : It is used here but many people avoid using it when making on a festive day.
- lemon : It helps in balancing the flavour of the dish.
- coriander leaves
