Lemon Rice / Elumichai Sadham
When ever my family go out on a small trip, the first thing come to mind when packing food is lemon rice. I like lemon rice along with lemon pickle. This was my fav lunch box meal when I was in school.

Ingredients :
Rice	1 cup
Lemon	1/2 medium
Sesame Oil	3 tsp
Mustard	1/4 tsp
Split Urad Dhal	1/2 tsp
Channa Dhal	1/2 tsp
Green Chili	4 no
Curry leaves	1 strand
Turmeric	1/4 tsp
Peanut	/3 tsp
Salt

Directions:

Step 1

Cook rice and allow it to cool down by spreading it in a plate.
Step 2

In a pan heat oil. When hot add mustard, split urad dhal, channa dhal, curry Leaves, green Chili, turmeric and Peanut. Fry it till the peanut is fried well. Add the Lemon juice and salt. Mix the rice with this gently.

Tips :

If you want the lemon smell to be dominating, don’t heat the lemon juice, just add the juice directly to the rice.
Cumin, Garlic can be added extra to enhance the taste.
Curry Leaves adds a good smell to lemon rice.
Red chilies can be substituted for green chilies.
Cashew nuts can be added to taste rich.
Lemon rice wont be spoiled for 1 whole day in normal day temperature. This can be packed for long trips where no cooler is available.
