Jon loved this recipe (from Costco Connection, n.b.!) and thought I should share it with you...

Ingredients:

180g Basmati or other rice
Salt to taste
27g sesame oil [how much is 27 g of oil, for goodness sake!!]
Pinch of asafoetida
2g black mustard seeds [have you ever tried to weigh out 2 g of something?!! - try a small handful and crush them in a mortar]
30g [or sm handfull] of raw [or any other kind of] peanuts
1 stem of Indian curry leaves [or daon Salam? or bay leaves, I used 2]
1 serrano chilli [or whatever you have in the freezer, in my case], cut into strips
2g turmeric powder [see above!]
10ml fresh [or bottled] lemon juice 
Zest of half a lemon, optional
15g chopped fresh coriander leaves [or not, Nicole!]

Method:

Bla-bla-bla... make rice. 

In a small pan, heat the oil just slightly and add a pinch of asafoetida.
Add mustard seeds and let them sizzle for 5-10 seconds [!] then add peanuts, curry leaves, and serrano chilli. Fry for about 30 seconds, add turmeric and remove from heat.
Stir spices and add to rice, along with lemon juice and zest.
Garnish with chopped coriander leaves [or not!].

Serves three. I usually use 60g rice per person but you might not find it enough.
