Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked millet I used foxtail millet
- 2 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt to taste
For tadka
- 2 tablespoon ground nuts

- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 3 green chili
- 2 red chili
- 10 curry leaves

Instructions
- Cook the millet and keep it aside. Leftover cooked millet can also be used.
- To the cooked millet, add lemon juice, salt and mix it well.
- Now, heat the pan for tadka.
- Add oil and once it is heated well, add peanuts and let it fry for 2 minutes. If you are using roasted peanuts, you can add them at last. Else peanuts take some time to cook, so add it at the beginning.

- Now add sesame seeds and let it fry for one minute and turn off the stove. Sesame seeds don't take time to cook and hence we add it at last.
- Once the tadka is cooled down a little bit, add this to millet mixture and mix it nicely.
- Millet lemon rice is ready to serve. It will be a good breakfast or lunch item.
