simple coconut thuvaiyal!!
NOTES:
- Don’t cook the rice till mushy, it should be fluffy.
- Adjust the spiciness by adding one more red chilli or green chilli.
- I have added lot of dhal as I like them much, if you don’t like, you can reduce the amount of dhals.
- If you have the rice immediately, the dhals will be so crunchy, so leave the rice for some time, and then serve. So the dhals will become soft in the mean time.
- Don’t cook the mixture after adding the lemon juice, because it may give little bitterness to the rice.
- Mixing oil with the rice will give nice fluffy rice.
- If you like ,you can make the rice with little mushy and then mix the prepared lemon juice mixture.
