Ingredients
- 1 glass of Jeera Rice (or long-grain Biryani Rice)
- ¼ cup of Carrots, finely chopped
- ¼ cup of Beans, finely chopped
- 2 Green Chillies, chopped
- 10 Curry Leaves
- 1 small piece of Ginger, crushed
- 2 Cloves
- 2 Cardamom Pods
- 1 small piece of Cinnamon (about 1 inch long)
- 1 teaspoon of Turmeric Powder
- 1 teaspoon of Mustard Seeds
- 1 tablespoon of Ghee
- Salt, to taste
- 1 tablespoon of Lemon Juice
- 2 glasses of Water
Instructions:
Begin by washing the rice thoroughly. If you have Jeera rice, it’s ideal, but long-grain Biryani rice will work as well. Jeera rice is known for its delicate flavor and easy digestibility.
Take a deep pot or pan and pour in 2 glasses of water, using the same glass that you used to measure the rice. The water quantity should be twice that of the rice. For instance, if you took 1 glass of rice, add 2 glasses of water. Place the pot on the stove and bring the water to a boil.
While waiting for the water to boil, heat another pan and add the ghee. Once the ghee is hot, add the mustard seeds and allow them to splutter. Then, add the rice and sauté until the grains turn transparent. Introduce the chopped vegetables, curry leaves, and the assortment of spices. Sauté the mixture for a few minutes and then turn off the heat.
Transfer the rice and vegetable mixture into the pot with the boiling water. Add in the lemon juice and season with salt. Cover the pot and let it cook for a few more minutes until the rice is fully cooked.
Once the rice is cooked, continuously stir until any excess moisture is evaporated. This step ensures that the rice gains a dry consistency.
Remove the pot from the heat and your lemon rice is ready to be served hot.
An additional tip: If you’re planning to take this rice on a journey, omit the vegetables. The lemon rice will remain fresh until the next day even without refrigeration.
