SOUTH INDIAN-STYLE LEMON RICE
Rice lightly flavored with lemon. This is a favorite Indian dish. It is especially popular with children (compare to American mac and cheese.) It is very simple to make. Our family often eats it on Sunday nights after church. I put the rice in the rice cooker and then when we get home I do the rest of the cooking. It takes about 10 minutes total. Serve with hard-boiled eggs.

- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add peanuts, turmeric, and mustard seeds; cook and stir until peanuts are browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in green chile peppers, lemon juice, curry leaves, and salt.
- Fold lemon juice mixture into the cooked rice.

[email protected]I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my lemon rice turned out way too sour. I think I might have added too much lemon juice.
