Rinse the basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.
In a pot, add the rinsed rice and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until the rice is cooked and the water is absorbed.
In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add the curry leaves and sliced green chilies to the pan. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
Stir in the turmeric powder and mix well.
Add the cooked rice to the pan and gently mix to coat the rice with the turmeric mixture.
Pour in the lemon juice and add salt to taste. Mix well to combine all the flavors.
Finally, add the roasted peanuts and give it a final stir.
Serve the lemon rice warm as a side dish or enjoy it on its own.
