Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

1
Fluff the cooled cooked rice with a fork in a large bowl, ensuring there are no lumps.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Using day-old rice helps prevent the dish from becoming mushy.
2
Heat the peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Aproximativ 1 min.
3
Add the mustard seed and let them splutter.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Cover the pan if they pop vigorously.
4
Stir in the urad dal, chana dal, and peanuts.
5
Fry until the dals turn light golden brown and the peanuts are lightly roasted, about 2-3 minutes.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Stir constantly to prevent burning.
6
Add the curry leaf and green chili and sauté for another minute until fragrant.
Aproximativ 1 min.
7
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the turmeric powder and salt.
8
Immediately add the fluffed cooked rice to the skillet.
9
Gently mix everything together, ensuring the spices are evenly distributed and the rice is coated with the tempering.
Aproximativ 3 min.
Nota bucătarului: Use a light hand to avoid breaking the rice grains.
10
Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and lemon zest.
Aproximativ 1 min.
Nota bucătarului: Adding lemon after removing from heat preserves its fresh, tangy flavor.
11
Taste and adjust salt or lemon juice if needed.

Aproximativ 1 min.
