Lemon Rice

My sister and I tried this a few weeks ago and really liked it. Plus, your kitchen smells great while you are making it.
Lemon Rice is a delicious South Indian dish you can easily put together
when in a hurry. You can also make it with leftover rice. Serve Lemon
Rice with a Raita (yogurt salad) and Poppadums for a simple yet tasty
meal.

2 cups cooked basmati rice
2 TBSP canola oil
1 tsp Coriander
1 tsp mustard seeds
3-4 curry leaves
2 green chillies split length-wise
1" piece of ginger, grated
1/2 cup peanuts (roasted and unsalted)
1 tsp tumeric powder
Juice of 2 lemons
Salt to taste

Gently roast and then coarsely powder the coriander seeds. Set aside

Heat the oil in a pan and add mustard seeds, curry leaves and green chillies. Fry until fragrant then add the ginger and the peanuts. Fry for another minute. Add the tumeric powder and remove from heat.

Add lemon juice and mix well
Add rice, roasted coriander powder and salt and mix.
