First time I ate this when I was in Sydney. We were invited to Ganesh Chaturthi by one of our friend. All of us took some or the other dish. One lady, I forgot her name, had brought this. I asked her the recipe, as I always do. But had forgotten the masala she had put. So I used to make it with any masala I had at home. Recently I saw this recipe again on TV. Now I know about the masala also!!!.
Ingredients:
Rice 1 cup
Methi leaves 1 cup
Potato 1
Lemon juice 1 tbl spn
Ghee 1 tea spn
Cumin seeds ½ tea spn
Coriander seeds 1 tea spn
Toor daal 1 tea spn
Cloves (Lavang) 4-5
Red chillies 2-3
Salt
Method:
Cook rice such that grainis should be separate.
Dry roast coriander seeds, Toor daal, cloves and red chillies. Make powder.
Heat ghee and add cumin seeds. When they start spluttering, add methi leaves and salt. Fry for 2-3 minutes. Add boiled potatoes(roughly mash potatoes with hand while adding). Add ground masala, rice, lemon juice and salt. Mix well and serve hot.
Serves : 2
Preparation time : 15min
Shilpa: Looks yummy!!
BTW: I tried your Konkani sambar (with ittle variation) yesterday, it is delicious, and we had it as side dish for Dosa. I will post picture sometime. Thanks for the recipe!

Hey Shilpa,
Thanks for the recipe. One of my Kannadiga friends used to make this rice and I used to love it. I have searching all over for this recipe but havent found it till now..Sounds easy to make and yummy to eat. Will make it for lunch tomorrow. Thanks
I like non spicy items so i was looking for rice items without much of spice in it.
for me lemon rice was the only option.
So I had a thought to try out this recepie without cloves
I tried this receipe with methi seeds instead of methi leaves(since I could not get the leaves) I added 2 t-spoons of dry coconut power. This dish was awesome tasty n no spice. I really loved it. Thanks
