Lemon Rice and Pepper Chicken (Microwave Cooking)



Thanks to Tesnima, I have one more recipe that is quick and easy and can be done in 30 minutes.

Lemon Rice


Ingredients

1. Rice – 1 cup
2. Ghee – 1 plus 1 tbspn
3. Mustard – ½ tspn
4. Green Chilly – 3 nos
5. Curry leaves – handful
6. Lemon juice – 2 tbspn
7. Coconut scraped – 2 tbspn
8. Water – 2 cups
9. Peanuts – 2 tbspns



Wash and soak the rice for 15 minutes. Take a microwavable bowl and place the rice, water and 1 tbspn of ghee. Add enough salt and microwave for 13 minutes while covered.

You can fry the rest of the ingredients (mustard, curry leaves, green chilies, peanuts) in ghee either in the microwave or as normal and add to the rice along with the lemon juice and coconut.
