    Preparation Steps

    1

    Rinse the rice thoroughly in cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch, ensuring the rice remains fluffy.

    2

    In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil, then add the salt and the rinsed rice.

    3

    Cover the saucepan and cook over low heat for 12-15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.

    4

    While the rice is cooking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and let them splutter for about 30 seconds.

    5

    Add the turmeric and chili flakes, stirring to release their aromas.

    6

    Pour in the lemon juice and add the grated lemon zest, then stir to combine.

    7

    Remove from the heat and stir in the cooked rice, ensuring it is well coated with the spices and lemon mixture.

    8

    Garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley, and toasted cashews, if desired.

    9

    Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
