Hello everyone, today i'm going to show you the real taste of Andhra Pradesh. Lemon rice is one of the rice delicacies usually made in special occasions like festivals or family feast. It is easy to make and doesn't involve much hazzle.







So all you need to make it is :

  • Chana dal : teaspoon full
  • Urad dal : teaspoon full
  • Jeera : teaspoon full
  • Mustard seeds : teaspoon full
  • Asafoetida : half teaspoon
  • Groundnuts : fistful

You make it like this :

  • Cook rice and add lemon juice, salt and turmeric, mix well and keep it aside.
  • Heat oil in a kadai or wok and add chana dal, urad dal, jeera, mustard seeds, asafoetida, groundnuts, curry leaves, green chillies and let the whole thing fry and add the mixture to rice and mix well.
