Lemon Rice

Similar in technique to coconut rice, lemon rice is another classic South Indian rice dish that is both nutty from the peanuts and crunchy dāl and tangy from the lemon. My first memories of lemon rice are of enjoying it as a child at our local Hindu temple, where many of the South Indian volunteers would bring it to serve. This variation is based on the traditional method and inspired by those flavor memories. It tastes best with white rice, but brown works, too!
