1 Lemon (Big)
1/4 tbsp Turmeric Powder
5 Green Chilies
1/4 inch Ginger
1 tbsp Salt
11/2 cup Rice
For Seasoning
1/2 tbsp Mustard
1 tbsp Chana Daal
A pinch of asafetida

Method

Extract the juice from the lemon.
Add the turmeric powder and the salt to the juice.
Cut the chillies and the ginger into small pieces.
Add oil in pan. Oil should be added in excess.
Once the oil is heated add mustard, chana daal and asafetida.
As the chana daal turns golden brown, add the lemon juice.

Boil the rice with less water so that the grains are separable from each other.
Add the prepared lemon syrup to the rice evenly.
