Narthangai sadam | Citron rice recipe

April 4, 2014 by Raks Anand 12 Comments /

narthangai-sadam-1

Very recently I have started liking Narthangai/ citron. When in-laws came they got few narthangais and I made pachadi. Now again when I got 3 big narthangais through my Karaikudi mami, I made pachadi with 2 and made narthangai sadam with one fruit’s juice. And this is the first time I am making narthangai sadam. Being a mixed rice variety lover, I loved it so so much. Its same as lemon rice. Very easy to make but very flavorful and tasty. If you in case get a chance to lay hands over these fruits, do try rice with it. Though the recipe is too simple, I still wanted to blog this 🙂

Narthangai sadam recipe

Recipe Cuisine: Indian  |  Recipe Category: Lunch
Prep Time: 5 mins    |  Cook time: 15 mins    |  Serves: 2

Ingredients

Narthangai juice – 1/4 cup


Cooked rice – 3 cups


Turmeric – 1/8 tsp


Salt – As needed


To temper

Oil – 1 tblsp


Mustard – 3/4 tsp


Urad dal – 2 tsp


Channa dal – 1 tblsp


Red chilli – 2


Asafoetida – Generous pinch


Curry leaves – 1 sprig


Green chilli – 4, slit


Method

  1. Add a tsp of sesame oil, little salt to the cooked rice and separate the grains. Squeeze the citrion gently to get its juice.
  2. 1-squeeze

  3. In a pan, add oil, temper with the items given under ‘To temper table’. Add turmeric, salt and the squeezed juice and switch off the flame.
  4. 2-temper

  5. Add it to the rice and mix well and keep aside for 30 mins before serving.
  6. 3-mix

Notes

    • Do not squeeze citron too much as it will give bitterness.
    • You can use orange squeezer to squeeze. Also do not press too hard.

Serve it with your favorite vegetable side dish and some fried vadams. I can it as such 😉

    Would love to try this, I love narthangai more than lemon, just for the slight bitter taste in it,
