Lemon basmati rice

Method

1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. When hot, add the mustard seeds and both dals (if using) and let them crackle. When they start turning golden, add the curry leaves.
2. Sprinkle in a little water, then stir in the turmeric (the water will prevent the turmeric burning).
3. Add the lemon juice, salt and sugar (if using), followed by the rice. Mix gently to combine until reheated, being careful not to break the rice grains.
