A vibrant and flavorful rice dish infused with the zest of lemon and the warmth of turmeric.
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then soak it in water for 10 minutes.
Soaking the rice helps it cook evenly and prevents it from becoming sticky.
Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cook until they start to pop.
Cover the pan partially to prevent the seeds from popping out.
Add the turmeric and stir to combine, then add the drained rice and stir until the grains are well coated.
Stir gently to avoid breaking the rice grains.
Pour in the boiling water, add salt to taste, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Keep the lid on to retain steam and ensure even cooking.
Remove the pan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, then stir in the lemon zest and juice.
Adding lemon at the end preserves its fresh flavor.
Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve warm.
Serve immediately to enjoy the vibrant flavors.
