Grapefruit Pulihora

Grapefruit Pulihora is made just like lemon rice, by just replacing lemon juice with grapefruit juice.
It is a good way to include grapefruit in your diet if you are not a very big fan of it.
This makes a good lunch box recipe.

Ingredients:

  • Rice - 1 cup
  • Grapefruit Juice - of half the fruit or to taste
  • Oil - 1 tbsp
  • Mustard Seeds - 1/4 tsp
  • Green Chillies - 2-3
  • Peanuts - 5-8
  • Cashewnuts - 5-8
  • Urad Dal - 1/2 tsp
  • Chana Dal - 1/2 tsp
  • Hing - a pinch
  • Turmeric Powder = 1/4 tsp
  • Curry Leaves - 1 spring
  • Salt -to taste

Directions:
  • Cook the rice and keep aside in a mixing bowl.
  • In a pan, heat oil, and splutter mustard seeds. Add peanuts and roast them till golden. Then add chana dal, urad dal, cashew nuts and roast them till they slightly change color.
  • Add turmeric powder, hing, curry leaves and slit green chillies.
  • Pour this mixture over the cooked rice in the mixing bowl.
  • Add salt and mix well till all the grains of rice are coated with the yellow color.
  • Add the grapefruit juice to the rice and mix well. I add the juice of half the fruit. You can however adjust to taste.
  • Ready !!
