Lime rice is one of the popular rice dish in South India. Whenever there is a  pooja(group worship) at home, we make lemon rice, sweet pongal, curd rice and distribute it to all the friends and family. Lime rice is very easy to make and it will not be spicy. It will be tasty and little tangy. You can have it with potato chips or potato fry or papad. Whenever I have less time to prepare lunch, I will do this. You can also try this rice and enjoy.  Here you go…

Ingredients:

• Lime juice - 4 tbsp
• Raw white rice - 1 cup
• Oil - 2 tbsp
• Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
• White lentil or Urad dal - 1 tsp
• Channa dal or Split gram - 1 tbsp
• Peanuts - 2 tbsp
• Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
• Curry leaves - 5 to 6
