I have already shared the traditional lemon rice recipe. This has a unique flavour of dill leaves which is made often in Karnataka.
A recipe that will be loved if you like the dill leaves flavour. Pairing dill leaves with lemon gives the iron the dash of vitamin C that’s required for good absorption by the body.
My way of making the simple lemon rice highly nutritious. Can be made with millets as well instead of rice.
Ingredients :
- 2 cups cooked and cooled rice/ millet
- 1 cup finely chopped dill leaves
- 2 tsp oil
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 1 tsp channa dal
- 1 tsp urad dal
- 2 tbsp groundnut
- 3-4 green chilly
- 1 tsp turmeric powder
- Few curry leaves
- Juice of 1 lemon
How to make:
- Add oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds, channa dal, urad dal, groundnut. Let the groundnut brown then add the green chilly, curry leaves.
- Add the dill leaves, salt and turmeric and cook till the dill leaves are fully cooked.
- Switch off the flame and add the cooled rice/millet and lemon juice. Mix lightly so an not to mush up the rice/ millets .Check for salt.
