Directions:To Make Lemon Rice
1. In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice, turmeric, and salt. Stir to dissolve the salt, and then set aside.
2. Pour the oil into a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chilies, and toast until blistered and aromatic. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. Place the warm rice in a large bowl. Add the lemon juice mixture and toss to coat. Use your hands to break up the chilies and crumble them into the bowl. Gently fold in the cilantro and cashews.
How to roast cashews
Preheat a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add the cashews and stir or shake the pan occasionally until they begin to turn golden brown. Be careful not to burn the cashews |

Notes: Watch the salt you add to this recipe. I made it the first time, and added additional salt, which resulted in having to make another batch of rice, to add to the first batch of rice to make it less salty.
