Why lemon rice calorie numbers differ
Lemon rice is a South Indian dish of cooked rice tossed with a tadka of mustard seeds, peanuts, red chilli and turmeric, then brightened with lemon juice. Peanuts and the oil in the tadka vary the most, and a generous tadka from a hotel carries more than a quick home batch. The amount of rice on the plate does the rest.
One extra teaspoon of ghee or oil (5 g) adds 45 kcal, 8% of the calories in 1 full plate of lemon rice.
The numbers here are for a standard home recipe at 319 g per full plate. Weigh your portion or compare it with that weight.
