Nimakayya (Lemon) Pulihora Recipe How to Prepare

    Andhra style lemon rice, Its traditional recipe... Pulihora or Lemon rice is a very common rice dish in south India. Also is a typical naivedyam/ prasadam in temples or at home. To make Pulihora, pre cooked rice is flavored by something sour like lime juice, raw mango or tamarind paste etc. and then it's seasoned with a typical seasoning of lentils and spices. Pulihora is usually served as it is. But I have tasted it along with potato curry and I liked it.Also it can be paired up with curd rice to make it a festive meal. Pulihora is also good for packing in lunch box. It’s a eat in the bowl dish for me as no sides are necessary. My favorite kind of pulihora is the Tamarind one. I always keep the cooked tamarind paste handy so I could quickly make tamarind rice.When I run out of the paste my next resort would be lemon rice. To make lemon rice you need to obviously use lemons but I make it with lime or lemon which ever is handy. I can’t really tell the difference between both of em. For me they both are sour which is the point of making this dish :-). Also they both turn out tasty. I just pick which ever looks fresh in the grocery store. Saying all that, today I’m making it with lime but you can substitute them with lemons. 

     I have used Sona masoori rice for this recipe which we usually consume. Making pulihora with Basmati rice is out of question. It doesn’t look authentic for me and it looks more like pulao. But again its personal preference. Also seasoning is really important for this dish. Don’t be skimpy with seasoning otherwise it just looks like yellow rice. The finished rice should have a crunch in every bite. You can use more green chilies if you like it spicy. I have used 2 limes in this recipe and the sourness of the dish is perfect for me. But you can adjust the sourness by using more or less juice. This is a traditional rice dish usually prepared on auspicious occasions for pujas or vratams. Its an easy dish and takes less time to make compared to chintapandu pulihora or tamarind rice. You can make this for kids lunch box. Kids will love this dish so friends see the process to make the Pulihora Recipe process to make it.......
