Simple yet aromatic, Lemon Rice is a traditional Indian rice preparation with authentic spicing. This vegetarian dish is a family kitchen staple that adds variety and flavor to everyday meals.
Rinse the basmati rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain.
In a pot, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until tender. Remove from heat and let rest covered for 5 minutes.
Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and allow them to splutter, then add curry leaves and sliced green chili. Stir for 20–30 seconds until fragrant.
Sprinkle in turmeric powder and add roasted peanuts, stirring continuously for 1 minute to combine the flavors.
Add the cooked rice to the skillet, sprinkle with salt, and gently toss to mix everything evenly. Turn off the heat, then drizzle over fresh lemon juice and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve warm.
