directions
- Cook the rice and let it cool. I love using leftover rice.

- Add 2 Tbsp oil to the same pan along with asafetida, curry leaves, turmeric powder, green chili and mustard seeds.
- Once they start splattering, add the dry red chilies.
- Add the cooked rice along with salt, peanuts and previously cooked dry chana daal. Stir gently to combine.
- After two minutes, add the fresh lemon juice and mix to combine.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve hot with plain yogurt and papadums.
- Enjoy with your loved ones!
