Method:
- Cook Basmathi rice with 1 : 1.5 cup of rice and water. Let it cool, set it aside.
- Squeeze Lemon juice.
- Heat oil in a large heavy bottomed pan.
- Add mustard seeds, urad dal, channa dal, peanuts. Let it crackle. Add asafoetida and curry leaves.
- Next add turmeric powder and lemon juice mix well. Let it get heated for 2 mins. Then reduce the heat to low.
