Traditional Rathasali Rice Lemon Rice Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup Rigel Spices Rathasali Rice

• 3 cups water

• 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice

• 2 tbsp cooking oil

• 1 tsp mustard seeds

• 1 tsp cumin seeds

• 1 tbsp peanuts

• 8–10 cashews, optional

• 1–2 green chillies, slit

• 1 dried red chilli

• 8–10 curry leaves

• ½ tsp turmeric powder

• A pinch of asafoetida

• Salt to taste

• Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Preparation Method

Step 1 – Wash & Soak the Rice

Wash the Rathasali Rice thoroughly and soak it for 4–6 hours. Soaking helps the rice cook more evenly and improves its texture.

Step 2 – Cook the Rice

Drain the soaked rice and add it to a pressure cooker or heavy-bottomed pot with water. Cook until the rice becomes tender. Allow it to cool slightly and gently separate the grains.

Step 3 – Prepare the Tempering

Heat oil in a pan and add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once they begin to splutter, add peanuts, cashews, green chillies, dried red chilli, and curry leaves.

Sauté until the nuts become lightly golden and aromatic.

Step 4 – Add the Spices

Add turmeric powder and a pinch of asafoetida to the tempering. Stir gently for a few seconds, keeping the heat low.

Step 5 – Mix the Rice & Lemon

Add the cooked Rathasali Rice and salt to the pan. Mix gently so the seasoning coats the rice evenly.

Turn off the heat and add fresh lemon juice. Gently combine everything and allow the flavours to blend.

Step 6 – Garnish & Serve

Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves and serve your delicious Rathasali Rice Lemon Rice warm or at room temperature.

It pairs wonderfully with curd, vegetable sides, papad, or a traditional pickle.
