Inspired by South Indian cuisine, this rice recipe gets bright flavor from lemon juice and turmeric and aromatic, savory flavor from curry leaves, mustard seeds and peanuts. Urad dal, also known as black lentils, add nice crispy bites throughout this dish.

Perfect! I like the nutty texture of urad dal and peanuts combined with the fragrant rice. Will make this again.

Great potential Pooja, but ... for a newbie like me, to the great taste of South Indian cuisine, you forgot to tell us that both whole urad dal and the split urad dal need to be soaked for at least 4 – 5 hours in water and/or precooked. Almost broke my tooth -too much crunch. Please clarify or correct.
