Total Time: 10 mins Preparation Time: 3 mins Cook Time: 7 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 1
• 3/4 cup cooked rice, cooked without salt (you can use leftover cooked rice)
• 1 teaspoon oil
• 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon urad dal or 1/2 teaspoon split black gram
• 1/8 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/8 teaspoon asafetida powder (optional)
• 1 tablespoon peanuts
• 1/2 medium green chili, chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• coriander leaves (to garnish)

Recipe

• 1 heat oil in a frying pan on medium heat and add mustard seeds and urad dal.
• 2 when mustard starts to splutter, add turmeric powder, chopped chilli, asafoetida, and peanuts.
• 3 saute for about 2 minutes.
• 4 then add cooked rice and salt and saute for another 5 minutes.
• 5 remove from flame, add lemon juice and mix well.
• 6 garnish with chopped corriander and serve!
• 7 note: if you don't have cooked rice on hand, cook 1/4 cup of rice in a pressure cooker, or with about 1/2 to 2/3 cup water in a pot; allow it to cool well before using it in the recipe, since warm rice will tend to clump together in the mixture.
